作為一位在香港成長的社會工作員，我相信以家為本對促進兒童和青少年發展至關重要。在過往的工作，我為不同兒童及其家庭提供情緒支援，明白到父母在孩子發展中扮演的關鍵角色。我希望營造一個安全、溫暖和具鼓勵性的空間，讓兒童及青少年學會認識和探索情緒，使他們更能夠發揮情緒復原和抗逆能力。透過結合兒童為本遊戲治療(Child-Centered Play Therapy)、認知行為治療(Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)、藝術和音樂、應用行為分析(Applied Behavioural Analysis )和敘事治療(Narrative Therapy)，我嘗試運用不同介入手法回應不同個案的需要。我對處理兒童及青少年的情緒問題亦有經驗，如焦慮症、抑鬱症，以及患有特殊需要的個案，如自閉症譜系障礙(ASD)和注意力不足過動症（ADHD）。

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
