LDE: 61 School Refusal, Digital Media, and Medication and ADHD - Dr. Keeban Nam

"In my opinion, there’s definitely some theoretical basis to understand that anxiety has increased in relation to the introduction of technology and digital media."
- Dr. Keeban Nam

In this episode, Jill Stowell and Dr. Keeban Nam, psychiatrist, talk about several hot topics that were only exacerbated by the pandemic.

School Refusal: Why does it happen, and why is it worse after the pandemic?

Digital Media: This "new" way of communicating has become the norm, but how is it affecting teens and families? What are appropriate guidelines for digital media, and how can parents connect with their kids and teens?

Medication and ADHD: When is medication helpful? When isn't it? How should parents approach this topic?

These are very difficult questions for parents, and if you are struggling with any of these issues, you are not alone.
