Q How often do we need to visit Dongjedang for ADHD treatment?
A Every two weeks for the first month, then adjusted to monthly visits once symptoms are stable.
Detailed Answer
Close monitoring of early changes is important in Korean medicine treatment for ADHD. During the first month, visits are scheduled every two weeks to assess prescription response, sleep, and appetite changes; thereafter, once symptoms have stabilized, visits are reduced to once a month. During vacation intensive treatment periods, weekly acupuncture sessions may also be added. Bringing behavioral observation records from the child's teacher (concentration time, frequency of impulsive behavior) is of great assistance in evaluating treatment effectiveness.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we conduct a joint initial interview with both parent and child to gain a comprehensive understanding of the home and school situation. An interim evaluation is conducted at the three-month treatment mark, and the findings from parent-reported changes and Korean medicine differentiation are shared together to guide the next phase of care. For those visiting from Incheon Dong-gu by public transportation, we also provide parking guidance.
