In this free masterclass with Dr Giaroli, a Consultant Child, Adolescent & Adult Psychiatrist specialising in ADHD and Autism
We will explore:
How ADHD medications work in the brain (in clear, parent-friendly language)
- The different medication classes and treatment pathways
- What side effects can look like, and how they are monitored and managed
- Managing expectations: focus, emotions, appetite, sleep, and personality
- Balancing improved concentration with emotional regulation
- ADHD medication in the context of co-occurring anxiety and autism
- How to work collaboratively with prescribers and ask the right questions
This session is balanced, non-alarmist, and non-evangelical.
Medication is not presented as a cure-all, nor as something to fear — but as one possible tool within a wider neurodevelopmental support plan.
Parents will leave feeling:
- More informed
- More confident
- Better equipped to advocate for their child
- Reassured that there is no single “right” answer — only the right decision for their child
Whether you are considering medication, already navigating it, or simply want to understand your options, this session is designed to meet you where you are.
