ADHD is a lifelong disorder, however the symptoms can be mitigated through many different means. Patients have found therapy, medications, homeopathic remedies, and dietary changes to be helpful. I personally recommend getting a biomarker assessment (sometimes called GeneSight) prior to beginning any medication or supplement regimen to ensure her body will appropriately metabolize the medications/supplements resulting in better outcomes and reduce the likelihood of side effects.
ADHD is a neurological disorder, and not something can is "fixable" with our current knowledge. That said, in addition to medication, there are many aspects of ADHD that can be managed and can greatly improve the lives of people with ADHD. The younger the process is started, the better, so find a quality therapist with extensive experience with ADHD patients, and they should be able help your daughter with some practical aspects such as organizational skills, emotional management, and social skills.
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) in children cannot be "fixed" in the sense of being permanently eliminated, but it can be effectively managed. Treatment typically involves a combination of behavioral therapy, medication, and support strategies. While there is no cure for ADHD, many children with ADHD learn to manage their symptoms and lead successful lives with appropriate interventions and support from parents, teachers, and mental health professionals.
personally, I do not like using the term "fixed" when it comes to mental health. ADHD can be effectively and well managed with the right treatment. If your daughter was diagnosed with ADHD and I'm hoping it was done by a mental health provider, I would recommend working together with the provider to come up with a treatment plan that best suits the needs of your daughter.
ADHD cannot be "fixed" but it can be managed with medication and proper tools through behavioral therapy to offset symptoms that impact quality of life.
I wouldn't necessary say it can be fixed, but your daughter can learn to overcome her symptoms with coping techniques and practicing to minimize her symptoms.
