How does long-term ADHD medication use impact heart health, and do potential risks outweigh treatment benefits?
Medication is an important component of a comprehensive management strategy for ADHD. While these medications have demonstrated clear benefits, concerns remain about their possible side effects — among them, potential cardiovascular problems. In this webinar, you will learn:
- The latest research on the relationship between cardiovascular problems and ADHD medication use, including considerations for older adults.
- The relationship between ADHD itself and cardiovascular problems, regardless of medication effects.
- The importance of medication use for many individuals with ADHD and the consequences of not receiving treatment.
- Strategies to help people mitigate or prevent cardiovascular disease from a lifestyle perspective.
