ADULT ADHD – PART 2

Dr Susannah Whitwell
Consultant Psychiatrist & Co-Founder of the Effra Clinic

Dr Whitwell is a specialist in adult neurodevelopmental conditions working in this field in the NHS and in the private sector as co-founder and director of the Effra Clinic which provides diagnostic assessment and treatment for adults with ADHD in Bristol, London and online. This session provides a practical overview of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as it commonly presents in primary care. It focuses on recognising adult ADHD beyond stereotypes, including inattentive and masked presentations, gender differences, and overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma and burnout.

The talk will outline how ADHD can be identified and screened for in general practice, including when to suspect it, how to frame a referral, and how to support patients while they await specialist assessment.

It will also address frequently asked clinical questions from non-specialists, including why demand for assessment is increasing, restarting stimulant medication after a treatment gap, what physical and mental-health monitoring is required when patients are prescribed stimulants, and how ADHD may shape the presentation, treatment response and risk profile of co-existing conditions.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Recognise common adult presentations of ADHD in primary care, including less obvious presentations and overlap with other mental-health conditions
2. Identify when ADHD should be considered and know how to initiate appropriate screening, referral and interim support
3. Understand key practical issues in the ongoing care of patients with ADHD, including medication monitoring, restarting treatment, and the impact of ADHD on co-morbid conditions
