Children in childhood are all naughty and like to make trouble for adults. But sometimes children will show symptoms of being unable to calm down and always like to move around. That is ADHD, and families are worried about what to do with their children's symptoms. Children's ADHD is very troublesome, so how to treat children's ADHD? The editor below has found some information and would like to share it with you.

Disease treatment

The causes, manifestations and diagnosis of ADHD are so complex that of course comprehensive treatment is required. It is very necessary to rationally choose the best treatment method. Currently, the main treatments for ADHD include drug therapy, psychological behavioral therapy, family therapy, EEG biofeedback therapy, etc., among which drug therapy is the first choice. Research suggests that the best strategy is to use medication as the main treatment combined with psychological behavioral therapy, family therapy, or EEG biofeedback therapy. Therefore, for Xiaoqiang, who suffers from mixed ADHD, experts recommend comprehensive treatment. So how to treat it specifically?

1Central nervous system stimulants: the drug of choice. It is mainly used for children over 6 years old to reduce hyperactivity, impulsivity and improve attention. Commonly used: ①

Methylphenidate. The drug is 75-80% effective. ② Pemoline is no longer recommended because it increases the risk of acute liver failure.

In the past decade, more and more studies and reports have shown that long-acting, sustained-release or controlled-release methylphenidate has a more lasting and stable efficacy. There is a trend to replace traditional fast-acting methylphenidate.

2 Selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor: atomoxetine. Atomoxetine is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). This drug is the first non-stimulant drug approved for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It has been used for 3-4 years abroad and nearly 2 years in China. Clinical practice has shown that the drug is as effective as methylphenidate in treating ADHD, with no obvious side effects. It is currently one of the main treatment drugs.

Psychosocial intervention therapy

Including behavioral therapy, learning guidance, family therapy and medical and nursing cooperation. Most treatments require professional help. Take family therapy as an example:

Family therapy: From the perspective of systems theory, as a member of the family system, problems with the child reflect problems within the family, such as abnormal parent-child relationship and unscientific family education. At the same time, having a child with ADHD at home often leads to tensions between adults. Therefore, when taking active preventive measures, other family members should also receive consultation if necessary. Counseling can help parents learn to understand and sympathize with each other, and to learn from and comfort each other. The goals of family therapy are to:

①Coordinate and improve relationships among family members, especially parent-child relationships;

② Provide parents with necessary guidance so that they can understand the disorder, correctly view the symptoms of their children, effectively avoid contradictions and conflicts with their children, get along and communicate with their children harmoniously, master methods of behavior correction, and use appropriate methods to correct the behavior of their children.

Parent Training

Through training, parents are taught how to manage their children's behavior. Explain to parents the reasons why ADHD children exhibit confrontational behavior, and guide them on how to pay attention to and praise their children, and how to correct their children's bad behavior. It enables parents to better understand the needs of their children and provide appropriate feedback on their behavior. Parent training can create a long-term, sustained, and conducive environment for recovery, allowing children to reduce confrontational behavior and gradually demonstrate their ability to behave well.
