Question
How can Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in children be effectively treated?
Answer
First, it is necessary to rule out various causes of ADHD, such as psychological factors like frequent fright or tension in daily life, family psychological factors such as frequent family disputes, violence in teaching methods, dietary factors such as excessive intake of lead-containing foods, playing or living near roads, and genetic factors passed down from generation to generation. Treatment should be targeted at these potential factors and should be a combination of Western and Eastern medicine. This includes the use of Western medication while actively implementing acupuncture and moxibustion from traditional Chinese medicine, as well as herbal medicine. A comprehensive evaluation and treatment approach is required.
