ADHD is one of the most common psychiatric diagnoses and is over-represented in therapists’ caseloads, yet can be easy to miss behind other comorbidities, especially in adults. Fortunately, diagnosing ADHD accurately and treating it effectively will likely benefit the comorbities that often accompany ADHD.

This strategy-loaded presentation will prepare you to make an accurate diagnosis and treat it effectively, based on a more useful conceptual model for understanding ADHD struggles and strategies. This enables clinicians to address not only the specific executive function deficits that impact every aspect of daily functioning, but also the many ways that it can shape an individual’s approach to the world. We will discuss how to help clients think through the decision to try medication and how to facilitate their appointments with a prescriber. Finally, we will discuss how to help adults with ADHD approach challenges more effectively and with a more resilient mindset.

Objectives

Attendees will be able to

  1. Use a more useful model of ADHD to help clients better understand and manage it.
  2. Describe appropriate criteria to make more accurate differential diagnosis between ADHD and other conditions.
  3. Discuss clients’ questions about medication to assist them to make well informed, well considered choices about treatment options.
  4. Utilize effective responses to the maladaptive coping mechanisms that are common to those with ADHD and help them create a more resilient mindset.
  5. Apply a conceptual model of ADHD to help clients increase productivity.

Outline

  1. ADHD is all about time: A more useful model for understanding and working with ADHD
  2. Diagnosis: Getting it right when comorbidities muddy the waters 
  3. Medication: What non-prescribers need to know to help clients make informed choices
