The Clinicians’ Guide to Differential Diagnosis of ADHD is a clinical compendium from Medscape, MDEdge, and ADDitude designed to guide health care providers through the difficult, important decisions they face when evaluating pediatric and adult patients for ADHD and its comorbid conditions. This guided email course will cover the following topics:

  • DECISION 1: How can I better understand ADHD, its causes, and its manifestations?
  • DECISION 2: What do I need to understand about ADHD that is not represented in the DSM?
  • DECISION 3: How can I avoid the barriers and biases that impair ADHD diagnosis for underserved populations?
  • DECISION 4: How can I best consider psychiatric comorbidities when evaluating for ADHD?
  • DECISION 5: How can I differentiate ADHD from the comorbidities most likely to present at school and/or work?
  • DECISION 6: How can I best consider trauma and personality disorders through the lens of ADHD?
  • DECISION 7: What diagnostic criteria and tests should I perform as part of a differential diagnosis for ADHD?
