Summary
Adult ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that often persists from childhood into adulthood, affecting attention, impulsivity, and executive function. Despite increased awareness, ADHD in adults remains underdiagnosed and undertreated, presenting unique challenges in clinical practice. This presentation focuses on strategies to address these challenges, drawing insights from recent data and provides our experts recommendations.
In this PsychTalk podcast/webcast episode, Dr. Gregory Mattingly and Dr. Vladimir Maletic discuss key findings from the CDC report on adult ADHD, including trends in prevalence, diagnostic gaps, and barriers to effective treatment. They also explore the latest research on gender differences in ADHD, emphasizing how these disparities impact diagnosis and treatment approaches. Our experts highlight the need for tailored strategies to ensure more accurate and effective care, especially given that women are often diagnosed later in life and may experience different symptom presentations than men.
