Question

Can’t sit still, love to fight, chew on clothes, love playing with the phone, not focused in class: always wandering around.

Answer

Medications for treatment include central stimulants, antidepressants, antihypertensive drugs, and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, children with insufficient kidney yin and rising deficiency fire may become restless and anxious. This is due to the common deficiency of yin during the growth period and the excess of yang, which can trigger ADHD in children. Therefore, nourishing yin and tonifying the kidney to strengthen the brain is the key to treating ADHD with Chinese medicine. However, many Chinese medicine drugs are available, but they lack scientific methods to verify their efficacy.
