This ADHD webinar will focus primarily on the various medications used to treat ADHD and other mental health challenges such as depression and anxiety. The benefits and side effects of the medications will be reviewed to help foster greater understanding of treatment options. There will also be a brief review of non-medicinal treatment strategies.
