About this listen
A straightforward and helpful guidebook, cowritten by three top medical doctors, to answer the questions parents and caregivers have about medications and mental health
Whether you are considering medications for ADHD, anxiety, depression, or autism, this guide empowers you to ask your provider all the tough questions to ensure you are comfortable and confident in your journey of exploring psychiatric medications for your child.
For parents and caregivers, considering psychiatric medications for your child can be scary and overwhelming as you weigh the risks and benefits. A Parent’s Guide to Starting Psychiatric Medications for Kids boils down the process of evaluating children and deciding whether to use medication, and then explores different classes of medications in detail, from the side effects to ongoing monitoring.
Three child psychiatrists from New York's Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Alexander Kolevzon, MD; Robert Jaffe, MD; and Pilar Trelles, MD, combine their years of research and experience to deliver this straightforward, accessible Q&A guidebook for parents and caregivers.
