When ADHD Runs in the Family: Understanding Treatment Options for Your Child

If you have ADHD and your child has ADHD too, treatment decisions can feel especially heavy. Medication? Therapy? Both?

How do you support your child without projecting your own experiences or ignoring them entirely?

This meetup is for parents with ADHD raising children with ADHD who want clear, balanced information, without pressure or judgment.

What we’ll cover:

• How ADHD medication works (and common myths)
• What psychotherapy helps with and where it may fall short
• When a combined approach makes sense
• How treatment can evolve as your child grows

Our guest is Dr. Karen Melendez, Clinical Advisor and supervising physician at Animo Sano's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic. Her holistic, family-centered approach focuses on emotional development, resilience, and long-term well-being.
