Resources for Learning More

We recommend reading reputable resources to learn about ADHDmedications. For example:

• ADDitude Magazine’s Guide to ADHD Medications (linkplaceholder for handout you mentioned).These resources provide clear, parent-friendly explanations of medicationtypes, how they work, and what to expect.

Deciding whether to start ADHD medication should always involve a thorough discussion with your child’s pediatrician, psychiatrist, or another licensed medical professional. They can help weigh the benefits and potential side effects to determine the best approach for your child or family member.
