Overview
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent and impairing neurodevelopmental disorder that affects individuals across the lifespan. While historically viewed as a childhood disorder, growing evidence supports its persistence into adolescence and adulthood. Despite extensive research, clinicians often face challenges in accurate diagnosis, differentiation from comorbid conditions, and implementation of evidence-based treatments. Additionally, recent advancements in pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies, as well as updates to diagnostic criteria and practice guidelines, necessitate that clinicians keep abreast of best practices to ensure successful outcomes in patient care.
This new course aims to address common clinical challenges via updates from international experts. Faculty will discuss diagnostic complexities, the latest pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment options, effective management of comorbid conditions, and population differences in symptom presentation. Participants will leave with up-to-date knowledge and tools to immediately implement with their patients. We welcome all mental health and primary care providers to join us!
Learning Objectives
- Apply updated diagnostic criteria and tools for identifying ADHD across different age and population groups.
- Evaluate current pharmacologic treatments, including emerging therapies, for ADHD management.
- Integrate non-pharmacologic approaches and behavioral interventions into individualized treatment plans.
- Discuss the interplay of ADHD and autism and develop strategies to address features of both conditions in clinical care.
- Summarize the prevalence of ADHD co-occurring with mood disorders, and current guidelines for starting and managing treatment.
- Describe the assessment and management of sleep disorders in patients with ADHD.
- Explain how ADHD manifests differently in women and girls.
