Educating yourself and your family about ADHD is tougher than you may think. Most physicians receive little training in ADHD during medical school. Often, they do an inadequate job of explaining the condition, how to treat it, and how to live successfully with it. This webinar will fill in those holes — and get you off to a great start in understanding ADHD and how best to manage the condition in children and adults.

In this webinar, you will learn about:

  • The positives and negatives of having an ADHD nervous system
  • The formal diagnostic criteria for ADHD — and what ADHD looks like at different stages of the life cycle
  • How to find a competent and willing clinician to help make the diagnosis and start a treatment plan
  • How co-existing conditions complicate ADHD diagnosis and treatment

The expert Q&A webinar What Is ADHD? Everything You Need to Know Before and After an ADHD Diagnosis will take place Monday, September 30, 2019, from 1pm-2pm Eastern Time (12pm-1pm CT; 11am-12pm MT; 10am-11am PT).

"He may be the most accomplished presidential candidate you've never heard of," George Mallet of KIMT told the inhabitants of northern Iowa last night. "Democrat Joe Sestak is making his way through Iowa. Sestak served in the US House, representing Pennsylvania's 7th congressional district in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Before being elected to the house, Sestak served for 31 years in the US Navy. He graduated second in his class from the United States Naval Academy. Ultimately, he achieved the rank of three star Admiral, making him the highest-ranking military officer ever elected to Congress at the time of his election."
