Opponents of ADHD drugs think that "giving drugs to children is the laziness of parents or teachers", but the difficulties of many ADHD children and the hardships of their families are inhuman. The general principle of medication should be to evaluate whether it hinders children's study, interpersonal relationship and personality development.

For the drug treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), I will first use obesity as an analogy. When should I lose weight? Who will decide? Some people whose body mass index (height and body mass index) is greater than 30 are obese and choose not to lose weight, but people whose body mass index is greater than 20 often try to limit their diet to lose weight; Whether an individual wants to lose weight is definitely a subjective question, and there are different choices.

Take the treatment of diabetes as an example. The symptoms of diabetic patients are different. Some patients can obviously improve their blood sugar as long as they control their diet and exercise. Some patients need medication, and the dosage varies from person to person. However, if patients with diabetes receive drugs, diet, exercise and other treatment modes at the same time, the treatment effects are complementary. Hyperglycemia may not cause obvious physical discomfort to patients at present, but long-term untreated hyperglycemia is prone to serious complications, such as peripheral nerve injury, wound difficult to heal, optic nerve injury and so on.

ADHD patients and their parents are also subjective and arbitrary in the choice of treatment methods, including whether to use drugs or not.

From the perspective of professional medical treatment, the responsibility of professionals is to assist in diagnosis, clarify symptoms, explain the significance of diagnosis, possible effects and related treatment methods. As for the choice of treatment, it is still necessary to return to the wishes of parents and patients themselves.

It can help children to establish good study and living habits from an early age, cultivate self-confidence and sense of responsibility, and have a far-reaching impact on their future. Therefore, it is suggested that the general principle of drug therapy is to evaluate the influence of the core symptoms of a case on learning and the interference on behavior, that is, whether the symptoms hinder children's learning, interpersonal relationship and personality development.

There are three core symptoms of ADHD: inattention, including easy distraction, forgetfulness, poor organizational skills, and difficult time arrangement. Hyperactivity disorder, such as hyperactivity, fidgeting, talkativeness and other symptoms; Impulsive behavior.
