#47: Medication and Executive Functions
In this episode, Erica and Darius explore the topic of medication as a supportive tool for enhancing executive functions such as inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. With special focus on ADHD, dyslexia, and other conditions that influence executive skills, they explore:The role of stimulant medications like Methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta) and Amphetamines (Adderall, Vyvanse) in optimizing neurotransmitter levels for better focus and impulse control.Alternative non-stimulant options, such as Atomoxetine (Strattera) and Guanfacine (Intuniv), and how they may be suitable for those who don't respond well to stimulants.Potential roles of supplements and dietary changes in enhancing cognitive functioning.Remember, medication is not a one-size-fits-all solution and should always be considered after exploring other options and as part of a broader treatment plan. Consult your healthcare provider to tailor the best course of action for you or your loved ones.Links:Executive Functioning Assessment:https://mymemorymentor.com/efcs/ One to one sessions with Dr. Warren:https://learningtolearn.biz/ One to one sessions with Darius:www.ivvi.appBulletMap Academy:https://bulletmapacademy.com/Learning Specialist Courses:https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/Executive functions and Study Skills Course:https://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/teaching-EF-and-study-strategies Good Sensory Learning:https://goodsensorylearning.com/Executive Functionings for Groups and Classes:https://tinyurl.com/4sx3eh3fhttps://www.learningspecialistcourses.com/courses/executive-functioning-games-for-groups-and-classes Dyslexia Quiz: https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/Dyslexia Productivity Coaching: http://dyslexiaproductivitycoaching.com/Cognitive Flexibility:https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/dyslexia-and-executive-function Dyslexia Quiz: https://bulletmapacademy.com/dyslexia-quiz/Inhibitory Control: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/poor-executive-functioning?_pos=3&_sid=19d2b3888&_ss=r Visualization: https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/the-key-to-improved-attention-and-memory-for-optimal-learning?_pos=8&_sid=a9d61809a&_ss=r Inner Voice:https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/inner-voice-app?_pos=1&_sid=604e0b13e&_ss=r Working Memory:https://goodsensorylearning.com/blogs/news/tagged/working-memory Brought to you by:https://ivvi.apphttps://goodsensorylearning.comhttps://learningspecialistcourses.comhttps://goodsensorylearning.com/products/executive-functioning-coaching-assessmenthttps://dropintoyourbestself.com/www.learningtolearn.bizhttps://dropintoyourbestself.com/
