Send us Fan MailWould you be surprised to learn that there has been a MAJOR INCREASE in child mental health visits in primary care?  A recent study published in JAMA Network Open found clinically significant increases in child mental health visits over a 10-year period.  While ADHD remained the most common MH concern, ANXIETY visits rose by 300% from 2014-2023. We know that it can be challenging and sometimes nearly impossible to connect these children and families with specialty child mental health care.  AND we know that families often PREFER to receive care from their trusted pediatric clinician in the comfort of their medical home.  To support YOU and other pediatric clinicians, we are excited to announce the launch of our new Pediatric Mental Health CME Toolkit - Cracking the ADHD Code: Essentials for Pediatric Clinicians. Available online at:https://ce.nemours.org/content/podcast-series-cracking-adhd-code-essential-skills-pediatric-clinicians#group-tabs-node-course-default1This on-demand, AUDIO-BASED course features 5 mini-modules on:ADHD Evaluation EssentialsADHD Differential Diagnosis: Recognizing Comorbidities and Look-Alikes (Anxiety, Traumatic Stress, mood disorders like BIPOLAR)ADHD TREATMENT: Stepwise approach to treatment with stimulants, managing side effects, addressing common parental concernsADHD with ANXIETY TREATMENT: Which to treat first?
