ADHD in Adults: Making the Diagnosis and Optimizing Treatment
Part 2: Optimizing Treatment

Overview

In this second of a two-part series on Diagnosing and Optimizing Treatment for ADHD, primary care clinicians will learn to choose and dose ADHD medications appropriately for symptom improvement, determine improvement levels through Measurement-Based Care, recognize side effects that would warrant medication change or adjustment, and refer patients appropriately for psycho-social support. Presented by a family physician who diagnoses and treats ADHD full-time, learners will walk away with a confidence in handling ADHD as we currently do anxiety, depression, and associated medications.

At the conclusion of this CME Activity, primary healthcare professionals will be able to:

• Choose confidently between stimulant and non-stimulant medication for a particular patient
• Titrate medication dosage up to an optimal level in each patient over an appropriate time period
• Refer to a third party for adjunctive and appropriate psycho-social support
• Follow and ADHD patient’s improvement with Measurement-Based Care
• Identify adverse side effects of medication that would warrant a change to a different medication
