#223: ADHD Medication and Brain Development: Let’s Break it Down

from Shining With ADHD by The Childhood Collective · host The Childhood Collective

ADHD medication and brain development is a topic that raises a lot of big questions for parents. In part 1 of our medication series, we explore what the research says about whether stimulant medication may support healthy brain development in childhood, and what can happen when ADHD symptoms go unsupported over time. If you’ve ever wondered whether medication could help your child in ways that go beyond focus and school performance, this episode will give you a thoughtful, balanced place to start.MEET OUR TEAMWe are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. We’ve spent decades supporting thousands of families navigating ADHD. And we’re also moms: some of us raising kids with ADHD and some of us navigating it ourselves… which means we understand both the science and the real-life moments that don’t make it into textbooks.LINKS + RESOURCESFree ADHD Treatment GuideHave a question or want to share your thoughts?
