  Usually, medication is chosen for the treatment of ADHD, which can be divided into central nervous system stimulants, antidepressants, antipsychotics, or antiepileptic drugs. However, in clinical practice, central nervous system stimulants are usually the preferred medication.

  Neuropsychiatric therapy is also a commonly used method. Drug therapy is aimed at the symptoms and excessive movements of children, which are often controlled due to drug therapy. However, it cannot ignore the management and education of families and schools, such as care, love, and patience for children. These psychological nursing interventions often have a greater impact on the affected children.

  For example, when a child exhibits many negative behaviors, education and inspiration should be given correctly, encouraging the child to make correct actions and giving rewards to reinforce this behavior. However, mental pressure should not be exerted, and children should not be scolded or physically punished.

  Train children to form a regular lifestyle, cultivate good habits, help them overcome difficulties, and enhance confidence. There is ample evidence to suggest that combining medication therapy with psychological education and behavioral guidance yields better results.
