Does your young child have ADHD? Deciding if your child should be tested for ADHD during the preschool years is not easy. Most families wait until children start school before an evaluation. But when needed, ADHD can be diagnosed as early as three years old.
What do you need to know before seeking an evaluation? And how can you and your child’s health care provider determine what behaviors are part of normal development and which ones signal possible ADHD symptoms? Dr. Mark Mahone will talk with participants about ADHD in preschoolers, best practices for treatment and obstacles that families often face in getting their children needed help. He’ll also share with parents strategies they can use to enhance healthy brain development and reduce learning vulnerabilities in preschoolers.
Dr. Samoon Ahmad is a practicing psychopharmacologist and psychiatrist. He explains what happens to someone's brain and body if they take Adderall recreationally.

NEUROFEEDBACK is a way for people to get information about the electrical activity in their brains and change their pattern. The idea of the treatment is to engage in mental exercises to alter the brain waves. However, many are uncertain whether to pursue this treatment regimen. Could neurofeedback be effective for a person with ADHD? This webinar will explore the research and discuss the pros and cons of the therapy.

The Role of Self-Care in Managing ADHD Symptoms, featuring Samuele Cortese, MD, PhD
Self-care strategies can play an important role in supporting ADHD treatment and managing symptoms. Habits such as good sleep hygiene, regular exercise, stress management, ADHD coaching , therapy, and a balanced diet can all help a person address ADHD symptoms and strengthen treatment approaches. We are coming to a better understanding of how these self-care strategies are beneficial.

Professor Cortese contributes to the editorial management of the systematic reviews/meta-analyses submitted to CAMH.
He is also adjunct associate professor with New York University. Prof. Cortese’s main research interest is around evidence synthesis in child and adolescent mental health. He was included in the list of the world’s most influential researchers of the past decade, demonstrated by the production of multiple highly-cited papers that rank in the top 1 percent by citations in the field of psychiatry/psychology in 2019 in Web of Science. In 2020 he also ranked No. 2 worldwide in terms of expertise on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) according to Expertscape.
When a child with ADHD refuses to follow through on a reasonable request, it isn’t always because they are defying your authority or being manipulative. Sometimes it’s because they are simply unable to do what you asked. In the heat of the moment, it can be hard to see a child’s behavior for what it is: a biological stress response to a situation where their needs are not being met, they feel unsafe, or they aren’t able to meet expectations. So, how do you respond? And what can you do proactively to prevent future blow-ups? In this presentation, you will learn how to respond in ways that will help your child calm down and learn how to solve their problems.
This was a live webinar. Attendees heard from Dr. Wayland and asked questions after her presentation.
Objectives:
Discuss the difference between bottom-up and top-down behaviors. Understand how the autonomic nervous system works as a person’s body shifts from feeling safe, connected, and calm to feeling threatened. List ways people respond to threat. List strategies you can use when your child is in different stages of regulation and dysregulation.

Neurofeedback is a gentle, non-pharmacological, and painless therapy used to successfully treat ADHD. Professionally carried out by psychotherapists, child and adolescent psychiatrists or occupational therapists, Neurofeedback not only reduces the symptoms, but it also tackles the fundamental causes of the disease.

Listen as Eric Tivers with his guests, Moira Maybin, Will Curb, MJ Siemens, Brendan Mahan, and Barb answer questions from the listeners in our monthly Q & A session of ADHD reWired. We are taking questions from you, the listener, about situations you want to talk through. It doesn't matter if it's personal or professional; we are here to give you our perspective and see if we can help you find some answers.
Rob starts off the questions about answering his doctor when he asks him how he is doing with his medicine when he really doesn't know from day-to-day. Sondra wants to know how to tell the difference between her teenager being defiant about chores or if it's his ADHD showing up. How would you talk to your significant other about learning more about ADHD to help them understand what you are dealing with?
Angela is talking to professional organizations about eliminating the stigma of neurodivergence in the corporate culture. She wants to find out what the panel believes is the most important key lesson to address, inspiring action with diversity, equity, and inclusion. Ellie has just been diagnosed and just started taking medication and wants ways to help her get back on track because she feels like her life is in shambles.
Gayle's question is how to help someone you believe has ADHD and how to help them realize it? Laurie wants to know how to get anywhere on time, and Chase asks what the overlaps are in symptoms in ADHD and child traumatic stress? What do you recommend to people who have multiple diagnoses? Carolina wants to know how to help her friends understand how hard it is to be on time. Another listener asks how screen time affects kids and teens with ADHD, and is it different from how it affects neurotypical kids and teens?
Thank you for listening to this month's Q & A session. As usual, we cover a wide range of topics, and we provide some creative takeaways no matter what stage you're in with your diagnosis. Listen in as we discuss your questions and the struggle we still have dealing with our ADHD.

As much as my meds help me, it’s a battle to remember to do all the things I need to do to be able to take them: sign up for health insurance, pay my bill, make a doctor appointment, GO to that appointment, get my prescription, find a pharmacy that can fill it, remember to pick it up before it closes, remember to bring my ID so they’ll let me...
So when I miss a step and find myself without my meds, it’s easy to wonder...are they really necessary?
This is what happened when I forgot to pay my health insurance, stopped taking my medication for two weeks and tried to learn how to live without it.
Please share -- because the stigma is real, and no one should have to feel ashamed for getting the treatment they need just because their disorder is mental rather than physical, invisible rather than obvious.
Mental health is just as important as physical health, and it’s time we acknowledge that.
*NOTE-- I do not recommend going off medication without a doctor's supervision. A medical professional should be accessible to troubleshoot problems. If you can't reach your doctor, talk to a pharmacist.
