Less than one in five adult ADHD patients are currently diagnosed and treated. This can have a significant impact at the individual and societal levels.
Our course on managing adult ADHD is designed to empower healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills needed for effective diagnosis and treatment. This program explores the DSM-5 criteria for ADHD in adults, and the key characteristics, neurobiology, and intricacies of this condition.
Throughout this course you will learn the impacts and progression of ADHD across a patient’s lifespan, the proposed criteria for accurately diagnosing adult ADHD, and the complexities and differences in the presentation of adult ADHD. You will gain a deeper understanding of adult ADHD presentation, allowing for more accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment approaches. We also incorporate the latest ADHD screening tools, research, and assessment techniques to enhance your diagnostic skills.
We will discuss several management principles and strategies for treating patients with ADHD. From evidence-based therapies to pharmacological interventions, our course equips you with a range of practical treatment strategies.
