Understanding medications used for ADHD can be overwhelming, particularly when you consider the vitamin and supplement options as well. As a part of one of my favorite events, I gave a presentation that breaks down some of the main points about ADHD medications: classifications, how (we think) they work, and information on how some supplements can also be an important part of a treatment plan. I decided to post my slides here as a resource for parents and patients. 

These slides give a fairly broad overview, with a focus specifically on pharmaceuticals and supplements. Follow my blog or Facebook page for future posts that go more in depth on specific vitamins, herbs, and other treatment options!

At our first parent conference in February of 2019, I had the opportunity to teach parents about executive function deficits--what I consider to be the most important piece for understanding ADHD. I have decided to include my slides here as a resource to help parents understand why ADHD looks the way it does, and how to offer support with specific struggles.
