A note about this webinar: This webinar is designed for both ADHD clinicians and patients.
ADHD stimulant medications are effective, well tolerated, and safe. But there are two problems that prevent those with ADHD — children and adults — from experiencing all the life-changing benefits that they can produce.
The biggest problem is that many clinicians do not receive adequate training in how to use ADHD medication to get the very best result for each individual. The second problem is that it is often difficult for patients and doctors to objectively determine when they have derived the maximum benefits from taking medication.
The good news is that there are ways to assess how well ADHD medications are working and to optimize each medication to achieve symptom control. Research-validated, paper-and-pencil assessments, such as the Clinical Global Impressions Scale (CGIS), can accurately measure progress in treatment. Simple practice methods can likewise help to quickly find the best medication and dose for each individual person while minimizing side effects. This webinar will help you and your doctor get the best outcome possible from ADHD treatment.
