    Kids Considered™

    Kids Considered™ is a UC Davis Children’s Hospital podcast, featuring two pediatricians who discuss child health topics of interest to parents in plain, non-medical language. New subjects are considered in every episode, discussing issues that apply from healthy pregnancy to birth to teen years. We have different styles of practice and viewpoints, but our goals are the same: we want to optimize children’s health and development, and help parents understand current recommendations and why policies are the way they are. We aim to provide accurate and timely information in an entertaining manner to increase the confidence of parents as they address the sometimes confusing parenting issues of our day. Although our podcast is aimed mainly for parents, pediatricians and other health care providers might find our discussions of interest. And children might want to get a behind the scenes look at what their parents are listening to.

    More Than The Baby Blues: Perinatal Depression Mar 18, 2019
    Show notes

    Pregnancy and new motherhood/fatherhood is expected to be an exciting and joyful time. But what is the impact of perinatal or postpartum depression? Perinatal depression may start before or after birth, and is the most common obstetric complication in the US, yet half the time it's not recognized or treated. This may cause problems with breastfeeding, attachment and bonding. This depression is more intense and lasts longer than the “baby blues,” which refers to the common sadness, tiredness and worry that many women feel after having a baby, and resolves on its own in a few days. In this episode, we discuss the severity of perinatal depression, the signs and symptoms, and diagnosis and treatment.

    Show notes

    Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood. Since children with ADHD have trouble paying attention, they may have trouble learning and have difficulty with schoolwork. Almost all children have times when their behavior is out of control or they don’t pay attention. So how can you tell if your child has ADHD? What are the specific symptoms of ADHD? What are the different types of ADHD? How can you tell if your child should be tested for ADHD? How is this testing done? What are the best treatments? Is behavioral therapy best or medication, or both? What are some of the side effects of medication therapy for ADHD? These issues and more are discussed in this episode of the podcast.
