In this hour-long ADDitude webinar, David W. Goodman, M.D., FAPA, leads a discussion for clinicians on how to identify ADHD symptoms in adults over age 50, how stimulants fit into a treatment regimen for patients who are taking multiple medications, and more.

A note: This episode is designed for ADHD clinicians, but open to adults with ADHD. Although all are welcome to view the replay, non-clinicians may want to notify the professionals with whom they work of this opportunity and share the audio and slide materials.
