    Description

    Puberty can be a challenging time for kids and their families. But what about if your child going through puberty has ADHD? In this episode, hosts Gretchen Vierstra and Rachel Bozek take a deep dive into puberty and ADHD. First, they hear from three parents of teens with ADHD to find out what it’s like to be “in it.”Then, they welcome returning guest Dr. Roberto Olivardia, a clinical psychologist and Understood expert. Listen in as he explains how ADHD and puberty can affect each other.To find a transcript for this episode and more resources, visit the episode page at Understood.We love hearing from our listeners.
