5: Dr. Robert Root - Child / Adolescent & Adult Psychiatrist ADHD Rules The World
-
- Mental Health
In episode 5, Tera B. interviews child / adolescent and adult psychiatrist Dr. Robert Root.
They discuss how ADHD is a spectrum disorder, and not just the one ADHD stereotype the general population tends to connect it with.
Where therapy is helpful and where it’s not helpful.
What types of “assessments” there are, the importance of a medical professional taking a very thorough clinical history, and hopefully getting that done upfront at a young age to set a child up to thrive as they grow academically and socially.
Dr. Root also walks us through medication, that it shouldn’t be feared in general, but more importantly that an ADHD diagnosis doesn’t mean a child automatically HAS to go on medication. He shares with us his own guiding principle for whether medication is necessary.
So, grab a pen and paper or favorite or download this episode so you can have a bountiful reference point for all of the great advice Dr. Root has for us today.
Please enjoy this episode with Dr. Robert Root.
