In 1970s, stimulants were used to treat ADHD in clinic. By adjusting the neurotransmitter balance of ADHD patients, children's attention is gradually focused and their learning and work efficiency is improved. Just like other mental diseases, drugs have a very significant effect on ADHD, and the development of medicine has recognized that ADHD can be treated with drugs.
Commonly used therapeutic drugs include central stimulant methylphenidate, bupropion and non-stimulant drug Tomoxetine, which can improve the function of neurotransmitters in the brain and achieve a balanced effect. At present, the effective rate of drug treatment is about 70%.
The medical name of ADHD is neuropsychological developmental disorder, which is also a psychological disorder. Methods to solve psychological problems include psychotherapy and family therapy. The most important sentence in the National Guide for the Prevention and Treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder emphasizes that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder should be mainly treated with drugs, combined with psychotherapy and behavioral therapy, which can solve the disease problems of most ADHD children.
Extended data:
For mental diseases, the concept of cure is different from other diseases, and it is generally called clinical cure, because ADHD is a long-term disease, and the short-term treatment effect is good, and the clinical cure rate can reach 70%.
The treatment time and effect will be different. Some children can be cured in a month, eight weeks or two weeks, while others need half a year or a year. Therefore, the earlier the treatment, the better the effect and the shorter the treatment time. If the treatment opportunity is lost, there will be a recurrence, and there will be a situation that needs long-term maintenance treatment and cannot be cured.
