FROM THE CLINICAL KNOWLEDGE CENTER
Recognizing ADHD in Our Adult Patients
Since the first descriptions of childhood ADHD in the medical literature, ADHD has become the most commonly diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorder in children and adolescents. ADHD can significantly impact children in the social, emotional, and academic spheres of life. There is a higher prevalence of problems with self-esteem, peer relationships, delinquency, and substance abuse among children with ADHD than their non-affected peers.
Growing evidence suggests that childhood ADHD persists throughout adulthood; between 30% to 66% of children with ADHD will carry a significant burden of symptoms into adulthood. ADHD may interfere with the social and occupational life of adults and is associated with behaviors that place them at increased medical risk. Moreover, as the individual learns to develop coping strategies, the manifestations of the disease can be markedly modified. This complicates the task of accurately diagnosing adult ADHD…

RESPONSES FROM OUR LAST COMPASS QUESTIONS™
In the 07.18.07 issue of Clinical Compass™, we posed two questions. The first question was: "How do you rate your confidence in the recognition of patients who may not be able to commit to abstinence?" and the neuroscienceCME learning community responded:
10% - Extremely confident
45% - Very confident
22% - Somewhat confident
23% - I need education on how to recognize patients who may not be able to commit to abstinence
The second question was: "How do you rate your confidence in using pharmacotherapy to treat patients with alcohol dependence?" and the neuroscienceCME learning community responded:
10% - Extremely confident
22% - Very confident
24% - Somewhat confident
44% - I need education on how to use pharmacotherapy to treat patients with alcohol dependence
