Webinar recording from November 12, 2020, featuring Dr. Alain Katic
Experts recommend behavioral therapy, like specialized learning environments or one-on-one counseling sessions, as a first line of treatment for many mental health disorders. However, as children enter the classroom where academics become more demanding and behaviors could begin to escalate, many families may start to consider if medication is right for their child.
During this one-hour virtual adult education session featuring Dr. Alain Katic, he discusses medications that are commonly used to treat ADHD, anxiety and mood symptoms in children, and addresses questions from the audience.
