ADHD is not a purely psychological disease, but there are certain organic changes that require drug treatment, but whether the treatment will bring drug side effects is one of the most important concerns of many parents. Parents of children with ADHD are generally afraid of the use of Western medicine, especially the use of central nervous system stimulants, for fear that the drug will become addictive. At the same time, all kinds of media reports also bring some psychological burden to parents, especially some news on the Internet make the public have some misunderstanding about drug treatment. Worried about drug addiction and stopping medication affects the child’s treatment There was a typical case: 10-year-old Xiaotao, diagnosed with ADHD six months ago, the doctor recommended treatment with central stimulant drugs. After taking the medicine for a period of time, Xiaotao’s attention in class significantly improved, more hands and feet of the problem has also improved greatly, Xiaotao’s mother is worried about long-term use of central excitatory drug addiction, stopped the drug. After stopping the drug, the condition repeated, indiscipline in class, doing homework procrastination, no choice but to continue to take the drug. In order to avoid “addiction”, Xiaotao’s mother again took the initiative, a few days before the exam or the teacher complained about the seriousness of Xiaotao to take a period of time medication. As a result of irregular medication, Xiaotao’s situation is getting worse and worse, not only the decline in academic performance, and the relationship with classmates has become tense, Xiaotao often complained to the teacher that his classmates exclude him, “bullying” him; the teacher also criticized him for indiscipline in the classroom, which affects the other classmates to listen to the lesson. Xiaotao is very isolated in school, so much so that he is resistant to learning and school, and does not want to go to school. Xiaotao’s mother’s approach is more typical of the patient’s parents common misconceptions behavior, but also affect the child’s standard treatment. ADHD is a chronic disease that requires continuous treatment Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), commonly known as hyperactivity disorder, is characterized by three core symptoms: inattention, hyperactivity and poor control. Some parents report that their children are completely normal when taking medication, but when the medication is stopped, all the problems come out immediately, so they think that their children have a dependence on the medication. In the domestic professional ADHD treatment guidelines, ADHD is positioned as a “chronic disease”. As we all know, hypertension and diabetes are chronic diseases that require lifelong medication, and once the medication is discontinued, blood pressure and blood glucose will rise, but it cannot be said that the patient is addicted to the medication. Like Xiaotao’s mother, some parents of children with ADHD because of the fear of drug addiction, reduce the dose of their own medication or stop taking medication, such irregular medication, it seems to be able to intermittently control the child’s problems, academic performance can be barely maintained, but due to the regularity of life, the development of learning habits, the establishment of mature interpersonal relationships and the formation of a healthy personality is a continuous, cumulative process, irregular medication can not achieve the real purpose of treatment. The real purpose of treatment. Therefore, the treatment of ADHD should not be intermittent medication, should follow the doctor’s advice, treatment until complete remission. CNS stimulants can be used safely under the guidance of a doctor without much concern. Moreover, some studies have also pointed out that not only do central stimulant medications for ADHD not lead to substance abuse later in a child’s life, but also that adolescents with ADHD who adhere to medication are significantly less likely to abuse substances than those who do not take medication. Regulated medication is not addictive ADHD is the most common psychobehavioral disorder in children and adolescents. Central stimulants are the therapeutic medications of choice for improving the core symptoms of ADHD. There are three main types of central nervous system stimulants used to treat ADHD: methylphenidate drugs, amphetamine drugs, and pemoline. There are no amphetamines in China; pemoline is only used in some areas due to its high liver toxicity. The most commonly used drugs are methylphenidate. In foreign countries, central nervous system stimulants have been used in the treatment of ADHD for more than 50 years, the European ADHD treatment guidelines, the American Academy of Pediatrics ADHD treatment guidelines, the British National Recommended Clinical Treatment Program for ADHD, the Canadian Academy of Pediatrics, have pointed out that central stimulants are effective and safe drugs for the treatment of ADHD confirmed by a large number of scientific studies, and so far, no case study reports have been found of oral central excitotoxicity drugs for the treatment of ADHD. So far, there is no case study report of addiction to oral central excitatory drugs for ADHD, that is to say: taking central nervous system stimulants to treat ADHD under the guidance of a doctor is safe, and can be used without fear, and will not become addicted.
