Understanding ADHD Medications with Expert Advice from Mary Grace Fair, PMHNP-BC
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults, leading to persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. In this video, Mary Grace Fair, PMHNP-BC, provides expert advice on the various medications used to treat ADHD, including stimulants and non-stimulants.
Key Points Covered:
* Gold Standard Treatment: Stimulants are the most effective, with two main classes-amphetamine-based and methylphenidate-based stimulants.
* How They Work: Both types of stimulants increase norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain, aiding executive function, focus, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.
* Non-Stimulant Options: Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (e.g., Strattera, Qelbree)
* Alpha-2 Agonists (e.g., Guanfacine ER, Clonidine ER)
* Comprehensive Treatment: Medication is only one part of ADHD treatment. Executive function coaching and support at school or work are also important.
