Despite increased awareness, ADHD in adults remains underdiagnosed and undertreated, presenting unique challenges in clinical practice. This presentation focuses on strategies to address these challenges, drawing insights from recent data and provides our experts recommendations.In this PsychTalk podcast/webcast episode, Dr. Gregory Mattingly and Dr. Vladimir Maletic discuss key findings from the CDC report on adult ADHD, including trends in prevalence, diagnostic gaps, and barriers to effective treatment. They also explore the latest research on gender differences in ADHD, emphasizing how these disparities impact diagnosis and treatment approaches. Our experts highlight the need for tailored strategies to ensure more accurate and effective care, especially given that women are often diagnosed later in life and may experience different symptom presentations than men.This podcast was recorded and is being used with permission of the presenters.Learning ObjectivesAt the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:Review key insights from the CDC report regarding the prevalence, diagnosis trends, and treatment challenges of ADHD in adultsExamine the latest data on gender differences in ADHD diagnosis and treatmentThis activity is accredited for CME/CE CreditThis activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the National Association for Continuing Education (NACE) and GlobalHealthXchange.
