Webinar: ADHD and Older Adults
Accurate diagnosis and treatment for older adults is critical, yet few psychiatrists, neurologists and psychologists are trained in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD in older adults. As a result, there is a strong risk that never diagnosed ADHD in older adults will be mistaken for early signs of dementia.
In this webinar, you will learn:
• How to distinguish ADHD from Mild Cognitive Decline in older adults
• To explain importance of accurate diagnosis
• To outline the clear benefits of treatment of older adults with both medication and psychotherapy
• To discuss the primary challenges of older adults with ADHD
• To explain the differing challenges of men and women with ADHD in their later years
