A member asked:

Would getting a prescription for adhd and anxiety help them?

Dr. Rudolf Brutoco answered

Specializes in Child Psychiatry

Not necessarily: It takes more than that. Treatment of both adhd and anxiety is a process, not a prescription. It takes a comprehensive treatment approach, expert medication management, personal/family commitment to improvement, and sustained work. And, it's all well worth it.
