Question
What are the medication treatment methods for ADHD? I have a friend whose child is in third grade this year and is encountering some problems in learning. The child often gets distracted in class, cannot sit still, which causes a headache for the teacher. Later, they were told that this might be an ADHD issue, but they don’t know what to do. Can ADHD be treated?
Answer
For children with ADHD, medication is crucial. In addition to guiding educational methods such as cultivating attention, establishing regular living habits, and fostering children’s self-esteem and confidence, their needs should not be overlooked. Firstly, behavior reinforcement methods can be adopted. Secondly, it’s advisable to consume less of foods containing tyramine and methyl salicylate, such as steamed noodles, pastries, tomatoes, apples, oranges, etc. Additionally, it’s recommended to eat less of foods containing lead and iron, like liver, beans, peanuts, poultry blood, and lean meat.
