Episode Description
Despite highly esteemed and plentiful literature on the use of stimulant and nonstimulant medication to treat ADHD, relatively little information is available on the treatment of complex ADHD — that is, attention deficit disorder plus at least one comorbid condition like anxiety, depression, or an eating disorder. Few studies address the treatment of comorbid conditions, the order of treatment, or the treatment of cognitive deficits and/or hard-to-treat ADHD symptoms.
This presentation will integrate data from controlled and open trials to highlight strategies for illustrative cases of complex ADHD. Participants will learn:
- About new medications approved for ADHD and their use for complex and hard-to-treat ADHD
- About strategies to manage ADHD comorbidities
- About approaches for treating cognitive executive function deficits in ADHD

Listener Testimonials
“This was one of the best one-hour presentations I’ve ever heard. I love how experienced the doctor is with actual on-the-ground pharmacology. Lots of clinical nuggets to digest!”
“Great explanation about ADHD medication and co-existing conditions. Thank you so much. Now I have a much better understanding of when my son goes to his appointment to change his current medication, which is having a lot of side effects and that he has had to stop taking.”
