Adult ADHD: Diagnosis & Misdiagnosis.
A common complaint: that adult ADHD is prone to misdiagnosis.
That’s because its symptoms are subjective, share features with a broad range of other disorders, and differ from adult to adult. And because — on this point — the main reference source (DSM-5) doesn’t tell you much.
What can be done to rule out false positives or false negatives? Detect malingering? And improve overall diagnostic accuracy?
On June 24, hear clinical and research psychologist Margaret H. Sibley) discuss these issues with an audience of ADHD adults.
