Description:
In this 40 minute presentation, Dr. Stephen Faraone, PhD presents the appropriate use of both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments for ADHD individuals. Non-pharmacologic treatments include cognitive training, meditation, diet inclusions and restrictions, and more. Dr. Faraone uses an evidence-based approach which evaluates the quality of evidence and magnitude of treatment effect (effect size) for each therapy. Further, treatments are categorized into broadband (treating many symptoms) vs narrow band (treating specific issues), and presents a helpful algorithm for healthcare providers to follow in combining broadband/narrow band as well as pharmacologic/non-pharmacologic therapies based on patient response and follow-up.

Learning Objectives:
After completing this activity, the reader should be better able to:
• Describe the multiplicity of treatment options for ADHD symptoms and related impairments frequently comorbid with ADHD.
• Choose treatment options based upon their quality of evidence and effect size and the interests of your patient.
• Use an algorithm described in the session to plot a course of treatment for ADHD patients based upon reported and observed symptoms.
• Access further ADHD CME resources on the http://adhdinadults.com website to learn further detail about both medication and non-pharmacologic interventions.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
