Question
Can ADHD in children be cured? Symptoms include lack of concentration, guilt, poor sleep, starting tasks with enthusiasm but not finishing them, lack of appetite, drooling while sleeping, poor academic performance, and lying. Diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 8, diagnoses from multiple hospitals were consistent. Although the doctor said that symptoms may improve as the child grows older, I feel that my child’s condition is getting worse. No treatment has been received in the past, and recently, I learned online that Jingling Granules may be effective with minimal side effects, but I am not sure of its authenticity. I hope to find an effective treatment method, especially in the use of Chinese medicine or traditional Chinese preparations, and hope that my child can recover naturally.
Answer
Many experts believe that Ritalin is highly effective in treating childhood ADHD, improving concentration issues, reducing hyperactive behavior, and achieving behavioral stability. With stable behavior, academic performance tends to improve as well, and emotional stability leads to fewer conflicts with classmates. Therefore, this medication indirectly promotes the psychological development of children. However, the only drawback of Ritalin is that it cannot cure this disease and requires long-term use.
