Question

What are the evaluation standards for the efficacy of ADHD treatment in children?

Answer

The evaluation of the efficacy of ADHD treatment primarily involves the following aspects:

  1. Self-control and attention: Observe whether children can transition from unconscious movement to a quieter state and avoid disordered activities and conversations in public places or classrooms. Additionally, whether their focus on tasks has significantly increased compared to before treatment.
  2. Emotional aspects: Assess whether the child’s emotions have shifted from irritability, impatience, and anger to a more mild demeanor, whether they can comply with the correct guidance from parents and teachers, show politeness, avoid backtalk, rebellion, and demonstrate stronger willpower and confidence.
