Issues in Children's Mental Health Series Conference
Join Dr. Martin L. Kutscher as he discusses the current concepts of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) extend much further than the traditional triad of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The course will cover the full range of symptoms experienced by people with ADHD and their families—including over-reactions, brakeless behaviors, easy frustration, disorganization, and “future blindness.” Special emphasis will be given to the concepts of executive function and co-morbidities such as learning disorders, autism spectrum disorders, anxieties, OCD, tics, depression, bipolar depression, and sensory integration disorder.
Changes in diagnostic criteria in DSM-5 will be discussed. Dr. Kutscher empathically summarizes how to identify and differentiate these co-occurring issues. Behavioral therapy at home, organizational and study skills support at home and school, and medication treatments will be discussed.
