Live Q&A: Is Tylenol really dangerous? An ADHD news roundup
ADHD just keeps finding itself in the news. It can feel like a lot for those of us who have it or care for someone who does.
Recently, Hyperfocus host Rae Jacobson sat down with a couple colleagues at Understood.org for a livestream to discuss the news and take community questions. Her guests were Dr. Andy Kahn, a licensed psychologist, and Dr. Keona “KJ” Wynne.
Together, they chatted about the controversy surrounding Tylenol, what we really know about the cause of neurodevelopmental disorders, and how to talk to your kids about scary or misleading messages in the news.
On this week’s Hyperfocus, we’re sharing that conversation in full.
