Duration: 12 mins Publication Date: 31 Jan 2023 Next Review Date: 31 Jan 2026 DOI: 10.13056/acamh.13603

Description

ADHD has become an increasingly hot topic in the media over the past two decades, and while this has helped reduce stigma and increase awareness, it has also led to misinformation about ADHD. In this talk, we discuss 6 common myths about ADHD. We'll talk about the expected course of ADHD, whether or not it's overdiagnosed, and whether ADHD is an appropriate diagnosis for children who are not hyperactive, or for those that can focus on screens for hours. We will also talk about the most common myths related to therapies and medication for ADHD.

Learning Objectives

1. Recognize how ADHD presents differently across various age ranges and ADHD subtypes
2. Understand how ADHD has become over-diagnosed
3. Know which treatments are generally recommended as frontline treatment for ADHD.
