How Do I Know If This Patient Has ADHD Or Not? Diagnostic Assessment of ADHD in Adulthood

Presenter: J. Russell Ramsay, Ph.D., ABPP

**REGISTER ONLINE HERE**

Increasing numbers of adults are seeking out assessment and treatment for ADHD.  However, ADHD is considered to be one of the most misdiagnosed conditions, being prone to both over-and under-diagnosis.  This presentation provides a model for a comprehensive diagnostic assessment of ADHD in adults that can be tailored and used by clinicians in practice to increase diagnostic accuracy.  Issues related to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for ADHD, presenting symptoms and problems characteristic of ADHD that are not included in the official criteria, the prevalence and persistence of ADHD into adulthood, testing for ADHD, the issue of malingering, as well as telling clients when their difficulties are not consistent with a diagnosis of ADHD will be discussed. 
 
Objectives:
  • Cite the components required for a diagnosis of ADHD in adulthood as defined by DSM-5, including the recent modifications for adults and ongoing limitations.
  • Summarize models that provide a wider view of symptoms of ADHD beyond those outlined in DSM-5 criteria in order to adequately assess for the presence of the ADHD symptoms drawing from contemporary etiologic models of ADHD.
  • Cite at least one source of corroborative information that can be used to augment patient self-report.
  • Identify at least one way in which testing can aid in the evaluation of ADHD and one way in which testing may hinder the identification of adult ADHD in adults.
  • Name at least one clinical inventory that can be used as a part of an adult ADHD evaluation in clinical practice.
