Description

There has been a lot of buzz about Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in the media lately. The number of adults seeking ADHD diagnosis and treatment has rapidly increased in the past 3 years and as a result, we now have a shortage of Adderall. However, it remains to be estimated that 80% of adults with ADHD are UNDIAGNOSED.

In this session for the Modern Clinician, you’ll understand:

  • Implicit Bias – are you harboring negative feelings about diagnosing and treating Adult ADHD, or whether Adult ADHD is real?
  • Neurobiology of ADHD – a brief and digestible, yet thorough update on our current understanding of pathophysiology of ADHD
  • Safely treating attention deficit symptoms with stimulants and non-stimulants
  • Medication Management: how to choose, start, taper, and monitor effectiveness
