Webinar | ADHD medication: What to expect and what to consider

Medication can be an important part of ADHD treatment, but deciding whether it is right for you or your child can raise questions.

What are the different types of medication? How do they work? What does it feel like when you start taking them? What happens if you experience side effects, or the first medication you try doesn’t feel right?

Join us for this free webinar where our specialist clinician will talk through ADHD medication in clear, practical terms, from considering treatment and starting medication to titration, ongoing monitoring and understanding what may happen with prescribing and shared care once your medication is established.

Whether you are considering ADHD medication for yourself or your child, have recently started treatment, or have been taking medication for some time, this session will help you better understand the options and what to expect.
