Why is Inattentive ADHD Different? New Information
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Predominately Inattentive Type is NOT  a “calmer” or “lighter” version of ADHD. The neurophysiology, symptoms, treatment methods, and medications for this disorder are different than the other types of ADHD. Since patients with Inattentive ADHD are not typically as disruptive as those with other types of ADHD, this type is commonly misunderstood or goes unrealized by the mental health professional. Little research has been done compared to Combined ADHD and most seminars and webinars only spend a small portion of time on Inattentive ADHD.

This one-hour course will provide participants with the latest information about screening, Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT), symptomatology, comorbidities, treatment modalities, medication, and how Inattentive ADHD may be mentioned in DSM-5.
