Question
A 4-and-a-half-year-old child has shown symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) since around the age of 2. The child struggles to focus on any activity for more than 5 minutes a day. The child’s intelligence is normal, but their academic and social skills are poor. The child has already undergone two inguinal hernia surgeries and one brain CT scan, which did not reveal any abnormalities.
Answer
Currently, treatment options for childhood ADHD are limited, and traditional Chinese medicine may be an option.
