SUMMARY
One of the hardest parts about being a parent is making choices for the health of our children. With an abundance of information and a variety of options, knowing how to support our kids medically can be really tough. When symptoms of ADHD begin to cause distress at home or at school, the topic of medication always comes up. The internet really doesn’t do us any favors when it comes to balancing myths and facts around ADHD medication. The conversation is nuanced, and as parents, we can agree that when it comes to making the best choice for each family, knowledge is power. That’s why today we’ve invited an expert in child psychiatry and ADHD to answer your questions on ADHD medication. Her insight is detailed, so grab a pen or be sure to download the transcript!

Do you have any resources/posts about supplements that may help ADHD symptoms in kids. There are tons of things out there but do any of them have research showing they help?
Thanks for your question! Because we are not medical doctors, we do not give advice about supplements. Thankfully, Dr. Dana Reid addresses supplements for kids with ADHD in the episode.
