Designed to provide practical solutions to some of the most challenging patient cases, Solving Clinical Challenges sessions put our most experienced faculty on the spot to answer the question—what would you do? Exploring complex scenarios associated with real patients, our clinical panel will interact and collaborate to share insights and expertise on diagnostic challenges, psychopharmacologic and psychotherapeutic approaches, and multidisciplinary care. Practical take-aways will enable clinicians to apply advanced approaches to similarly complex patients, enhancing overall care delivery, and optimizing patient outcomes.

This Solving Clinical Challenges session will focus on ADHD, a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects millions of people worldwide, with significant impacts on daily life, academic and occupational performance, and interpersonal relationships.

Learning Objectives:

Differentiate diagnostic presentations of ADHD from common co-morbid psychiatric conditions like anxiety and mood disorders
Describe the developmental nature of ADHD symptoms across the lifespan
List patient specific treatment approaches for ADHD and co-morbid conditions
