The decision to place a child on medication is not an easy one. It’s important to know the facts before making a choice that influences the developing brains of kids, teens and young adults.

In this video she discusses the latest research and breaks down the pros and cons between medicating and not medicating.
At InStride, we walk with families to help them make the decision that is right for their unique situation and treatment. And we never consider medication as a permanent fixture for kids or teens.
