Treatment of ADHD in children

Treatment of ADHD requires a specific analysis based on the child and his or her family, and a comprehensive intervention of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy is implemented. Medications include central stimulants and selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, which can improve attention deficits and help improve academic performance. Chinese herbal medicine also has been shown to be effective.
