Teen Psychiatric Medications: What Parents Need to Know

DETAILS
  • Virtual
Overview

Understanding Teen Minds, Meds, and Myths

Do meds just “mask” the real problem? Is therapy better than medication for teens? How do I know if a medication is working? Join one of Evolve’s board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrists for a free, live webinar designed to help parents understand the facts, dispel common myths, and feel more confident navigating treatment options.

We’ll cover commonly prescribed psychiatric medications for teens, what to expect in terms of side effects and benefits, and how to ensure your teen is safely monitored. 

Whether your teen is already taking medication or you’re just exploring options, this webinar is here to support you with expert insight and compassionate guidance.

WHO IS THIS EVENT FOR:

Parents, caregivers, and loved ones of teens navigating mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or psychotic disorders.

Dr. Chou is a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist with deep clinical experience treating a wide range of mental health disorders, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, psychosis, autism spectrum disorder, and substance use.

He earned his medical degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia, completed his psychiatry residency at Montefiore Medical Center in New York, and completed a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at UCSF’s Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute. His career has spanned leadership roles in rural mental health, academic teaching, community psychiatry, and private practice.

Dr. Chou brings a culturally informed lens to care and believes treatment should reflect each teen’s unique background and identity. He approaches psychiatry in its original spirit—healing the mind and soul.

Outside of his work with Evolve, Dr. Chou enjoys spending time with his family, surfing, snowboarding, practicing mixed martial arts, and listening to live music.
