Goals and Objectives Explore background information about ADHD Diagnosing ADHD in Adults Discuss common treatments for ADHD Understand challenges in working with adults who present with ADHD symptoms
Slide 4-

What is ADHD? Consistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning and/or development. Inattention Hyperactivity Impulsivity
Slide 5-

Inattention Wandering off task Lacking persistence Difficulty sustaining focus Disorganized Not due to defiance or lack of comprehension
Slide 6-

Hyperactivity Excessive motor activity Fidgeting Tapping Talkativeness Extreme restlessness (in adults) Frustrating peers due to elevated activity
Slide 7-

Impulsivity Hasty actions that occur in the moment Minimal forethought High potential for harm to the individual Social Intrusiveness Major Life Decisions
Slide 8-

ADHD: How Common? Global population surveys suggest ADHD occurs in about 5% of children and 2.5% of adults. More frequent in males than females 2:1 M:F in children 1.6:1 M:F in adults 50% of children with ADHD will experience attenuation of symptoms as they progress into adulthood
Slide 9-

Adult ADHD: How Common? 2.5 – 4.0% of the population Hyperactive / Impulsive presentation is more common in males Adults with ADHD have 4 – 9x higher prevalence of comorbid mental health diagnoses Bipolar Disorder Anxiety Disorders
Slide 10-

ADHD: Risk Factors Very low birth weight Smoking during pregnancy History of child abuse, neglect, multiple foster placements, neurotoxin, infection, or alcohol exposure in utero First degree biological relative with ADHD
Slide 11-

ADHD: Progression of Symptoms Begins in childhood Hyperactivity predominates in preschool-aged children Most often identified in elementary school Inattention is often predominant
Slide 12-

ADHD: Progression of Symptoms Hyperactivity may improve into adolescence and adulthood, but restlessness, inattention, poor planning, and impulsivity persist Substantial number of children with ADHD will remain relatively impaired into adulthood
Slide 13-
