Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast series by Attitude Magazine.

Everyone, my name is Annie Rogers, and on behalf of the Attitude team, I am pleased to welcome you to today's ADHD

Experts presentation titled ADHD and Puberty, How Hormones Shape Behavior and Mental Health

in Adolescence. Leading today's presentation is Dr. Paul Matrani.

Dr. Matrani is the medical director of and a senior child and adolescent psychiatrist at the Child Mind Institute.

He has extensive experience evaluating and treating youth with complex mental health problems,

including depression, anxiety,

OCD, ADHD, ticks, gender dysphoria, and autism. He is a graduate of the triple board program at the Icon School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and is board certified in child and adolescent psychiatry,

adult psychiatry, and pediatrics.

Through a developmentally based patient-centered approach,

he formulates for each of his patients an ideal treatment plan

that can include medication

and therapeutic interventions, such as parent management training, cognitive behavioral

therapy, and insight-oriented therapy. Finally, the sponsor of this webinar is Play Attention.

Play Attention, inspired by NASA technology and backed by Tufts University Research,

strengthens executive function, the brain self-management system through personalized cognitive training.

It's designed to help at any age, but is especially valuable during puberty when hormonal changes affect mood, behavior, and attention.

With a personal focus, coach, and AI-driven customization, your team will develop lifelong skills for focus, self-regulation, and success.
