Question
How should pediatric ADHD be treated?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric ADHD typically requires a combination of medication and dietary adjustments. Children often need professional medical diagnosis and appropriate medication, while also paying attention to their diet to aid in recovery. However, medication treatment must be carefully monitored for dosage, as excessive amounts can lead to malnutrition, affect bone growth and physical development, and may trigger a rebound effect upon discontinuation. It is recommended to carefully adjust medication dosages during the treatment process and ensure professional assessment of the medication’s effectiveness.
