What should be done if a child has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)?
Disease description:
My neighbor's child has been having difficulty concentrating and is unusually hyperactive. The doctor said it's caused by attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. What should be done if a child has ADHD?

When a child is diagnosed with ADHD, parents and educators can take the following steps to help the child:
1. Seek professional help: Consult a qualified physician or psychologist to understand the child's condition and treatment options.
2. Behavioral therapy: Behavioral therapy is an effective treatment that helps children control impulsive and hyperactive behaviors through setting clear goals and a reward system.
3. Psychotherapy: Psychotherapy can help the child recognize his or her behavioral issues, improve self-control, and enhance self-confidence.
4. Medication: Under a doctor's guidance, appropriate medications may be used to alleviate symptoms, such as improving attention and reducing impulsive behaviors.
5. Family support: Parents should provide sufficient understanding and support, avoid using inappropriate methods such as punishment or corporal punishment, establish rules together with the child, and encourage the child to actively participate in social activities.
