PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
While once thought of as a childhood disorder that primarily affected “disruptive” boys, ADHD is now known to persist into adulthood in approximately 60% of cases with an overall prevalence of 3-4% of US adults. Unlike earlier beliefs, it is now known that the nearly as many women have ADHD in adulthood with a male-female prevalence of 1.6: to 1. The condition can be detrimental to many areas of life including work, daily activities, social and family relationships and psychological and physical well-being.
Appropriate treatment of ADHD in adults can provide dramatic symptomatic improvement with some of the largest treatment effects of any medical condition.
Recognition and treatment of adult ADHD is important, especially because of the potential for dramatic symptomatic improvement. However, the condition is underdiagnosed and undertreated in practice.
This activity utilizes a flipped classroom design. This begins with a foundational self-study followed by an online live webinar, which will be available on-demand after the live event, where all participants will have the opportunity to interact with the faculty and other learners. This provides an opportunity to discuss more specific management questions and strategies of care.
