Although often considered a disorder of childhood, for a significant number of people ADD persists into adulthood, at times with far reaching psychosocial consequences. Recognising adult ADD can be complicated by the presence of co-morbid conditions such as anxiety, mood and substance use disorders.
In October 2017 our panel of clinicians and researchers discuss the nuances of identifying adult ADD within the context of co-morbid mental health conditions and explore the impact of this on management planning.
Panel Members:
Dr Hugh Morgan - Director & Psychiatrist (Mindcare Centre), Clinical Seniour Lecturer (USyd)
Dr Liz Sheppard - Clinical Psychologist
Mark Brandtman - Educational Consultant, A.D./H.D. Coach & Mentor
Facilitated by: Dr Vered Gordon, Black Dog Institute GP Consultant
Recording: James Stewart, audioPost
Sound production: Nathan Bell
Voiceover: Cameron Banks, Black Dog Institute
