Episode notes
Medication's Role
- ADHD medication optimizes brain function, enabling effective ADHD management strategies.
- Medication creates a level playing field, not a complete solution.

- Start with medication as the first-line treatment for ADHD.

- Focus on target symptoms like sustained engagement, listening, procrastination, and restlessness when adjusting medication.
- Avoid targeting symptoms like organization or ODD behaviors, as medication doesn't affect them as much.
