As a parent, it’s very difficult to see your child struggle and not be able to help. Too often the first or only solution we turn to is medication, but in some cases, therapy, nutrition, and exercise can be just as vital. For these reasons, we typically prefer to try therapy before prescribing medication whenever possible.

In many cases, medication is only needed for a brief duration, serving as a temporary bridge while other treatments take effect.
