What's the best medication for a child with ADHD and odd?

Hi ADHDInsights, I understand your concerns. My son also has ADHD and ODD, and we found that a combination of therapy and medication worked best for him. We tried a few different options before finding the right one, but now he's able to focus and manage his emotions more effectively. I would recommend consulting a pediatric psychiatrist who specializes in ADHD and ODD to discuss the best options for your son.
Hello, As a teacher, I've worked with many students with ADHD and ODD. I've seen some great results with medication, but it's essential to find the right one and dosage for each child. In addition to medication, implementing behavioral strategies and routines at home and school can significantly improve focus and emotional regulation. A multidisciplinary approach often yields the best results.
Thank you both for your responses! I appreciate the insights and will definitely look into the multidisciplinary approach. I've heard that medication might have side effects, so I'm a bit concerned about that. Do you have any advice or experience with managing potential side effects?
