About This Event
Understanding the Complexity of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a chronic neurodevelopmental disorder characterized not only by impaired levels of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity but also several associated features and psychiatric comorbidities1. Dr. Childress will discuss how the interplay between norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin plays a critical role in ADHD neurobiology2. Lastly, Dr. Childress will summarize the unmet needs of current treatments for ADHD and the importance of an integrative approach.
Objectives:
- Discuss the heterogeneous experience of individuals living with ADHD, including associated features and key comorbidities
- Explore the current scientific understanding of ADHD neurobiology, particularly the roles of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin
- Examine the broader impact of ADHD and treatment gaps on functioning and quality of life
