My guest is Dr. Bill Dodson, board-certified adult psychiatrist who was one of the first practitioners to specialize in adults with ADHD over 25 years ago. Over the last several years, Dr. Dodson has changed the emphasis of his practice from direct patient care to writing and speaking about and consulting on adult ADHD medicine. On today’s episode, Dr. Dodson shares with us the basics in understanding in ADHD medication and how it can help a person with ADHD.

In this episode, Dr. Dodson and I discuss the following:

-Why is medication a standard protocol of intervention when diagnosed with ADHD?

- Why do some people with ADHD need medication and others do not?

- What symptoms does stimulant medication treat when ADHD is involved?

- What symptoms does non-stimulant medication treat when ADHD is involved?

- How does a parent or person determine if an ADHD medication is helping or not?

- The role aerobic exercise plays when a person has ADHD?

- Best types of  professionals who can treat ADHD?

- Dr. Dodson’s words of wisdom when it comes to ADHD medication.
