Treatment

What can we do if a teenager with ADHD doesn't want to take their medication?

It's important to assess whether or not treatment is necessary and evaluate potential side effects. Sometimes, we see young people discontinue treatment because they feel "down," "unmotivated," or because they lose their appetite or experience sleep problems. It's crucial to discuss the type of treatment, medication breaks, and individualize the treatment plan with the adolescent, taking into account their symptoms, academic and work demands, and potential side effects.
