TCM treatment of ADHD in children

The ADHD disease can be clearly manifested when the child is young. Many parents worry that their children may not be able to be cured if they suffer from ADHD, which will affect their children's destiny for life. Here I still want to tell all parents that ADHD can be cured. So today I will introduce to you parents how Chinese medicine treats ADHD.

Western medicine treatment of ADHD in children

Drug treatment: Drug treatment is often the most common choice for patients, but the effect of drug treatment is not obvious and it can also cause various sequelae, the so-called side effects. During the drug treatment process, many patients often fail to take the medicine according to the doctor's instructions, which leads to worsening of the condition.

Psychotherapy: The problems of children with ADHD often reflect a behavioral pattern of the entire family. The causes of the disease in some children are due to an unharmonious family environment, discord between parents, etc., and they need psychological treatment. Commonly used methods include family therapy, group therapy, etc. However, because the treatment requires cooperation between parents and children, and the children cannot actively realize this, the treatment is often not successful.
