Question
My child is already eight years old and still very active and restless, which makes me quite anxious. How should ADHD be treated in general situations, doctor?
Answer
The general treatment methods for ADHD include psychological treatment and medical treatment. One important aspect of psychological treatment is the guidance and education from parents, teachers, and medical personnel, which helps children adopt a correct attitude towards practice, develop good living habits, cultivate self-control abilities, and strive to learn. Moreover, parents should be mindful not to overfocus on their child’s habitual movements in front of them to alleviate psychological factors. They should also avoid readily scolding, blaming, or ridiculing their child or resorting to corporal punishment; instead, they should encourage their child to participate in more cultural and sports activities.
