ADHD Medication Part 1 with Dr Carolyn Lentzsch Parcells ADHD Essentials

    • Kids & Family

Dr. Carolyn Lentzsch-Parcells joins us again!
That’s right, it’s a rock-block of Dr. Carolyn!  Carolyn is a pediatrician with ADHD who can talk about the disorder from any number of directions! You can find her on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok as the ADHD MD.
In an episode that is long overdue, Dr. Carolyn talks about ADHD medication - primarily stimulants.  We’ll cover non-stimulants in a future episode.  Carolyn discusses the role of medication as part of a gold-standard treatment plan, meds as a protective factor for both kids and adults, medication and substance use, and the importance of factoring a risk/benefit ratio when deciding whether or not to take medication.
