Adult ADHD has seen a significant rise in diagnostic rates and public awareness, yet clinical services often struggle to keep pace with demand. This one-day course, "ADHD in Adulthood," provides an up-to-date, clinically relevant overview of the disorder, focusing on the unique challenges presented by adult populations. The Andrew Sims Centre has curated this session to bridge the gap between childhood neurodevelopmental understanding and adult psychiatric practice.
The morning sessions focus on the neurobiology of ADHD and the diagnostic process, including the use of validated screening tools and the importance of developmental history. The afternoon shifts toward management, covering both pharmacological treatments and non-pharmacological interventions such as CBT and coaching. A significant portion of the day is dedicated to comorbidities—addressing how ADHD frequently masks or co-exists with anxiety, depression, and substance misuse. Attendees will leave with a clear diagnostic framework and a modernized approach to treatment that emphasizes functional outcomes for patients. This course is an essential update for any clinician working in adult mental health, offering a space to discuss the complexities of high-functioning adults and late-life diagnoses.
