ADHD rarely exists in isolation. Research suggests that up to 70% of adults living with ADHD have another mental health diagnosis. Chronic stress, burnout, sleep disruption, delayed diagnosis, trauma exposure, and overlapping neurobiology may all help explain why adults with ADHD are more vulnerable to co-occurring mental health conditions.
In this webinar, a psychiatric nurse practitioner will explore the connection between ADHD and common mood disorders, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. You will learn:
- About the prevalence and symptoms of co-occurring mood and anxiety disorders in adults with ADHD
- How to identify when overlapping symptoms may be more than ADHD and warrant further evaluation
- Why co-occurring conditions to ADHD are frequently overlooked or misdiagnosed
- About evidence-based treatment approaches and lifestyle strategies, including therapy, medication, and sleep optimization
