Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This intervention tests an online diary platform that translates daily mood and events into visual comics for children with ADHD. Participants use MangaChat to log moods 3–5 times per week for about 10–15 minutes per session. The study compares this approach to counselling to see if the diary training improves emotion regulation and positive thinking, and if it provides immediate, interactive emotional training while waiting for other treatments. The method combines AI-assisted mood logging with psychoeducation and regular caregiver involvement, conducted at a single center in Taiwan.
