To improve quality of care, APSARD, an organization for ADHD specialists, is developing the first-ever guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of adult ADHD.
Patient demand for providers who can assess, diagnose, and treat adult ADHD continues to grow. New adult ADHD cases add to a landscape of long-term patients who were diagnosed as children — greatly increasing ADHD patient volume over the last decade. Guidelines that outline effective care protocols for adult patients are needed to meet this demand.
To meet patient demand, primary care practitioners, coaches, social workers, and allied health care workers, without formal training or guidance, have increasingly stepped into unfamiliar territory to assess, diagnose, and treat ADHD in adult patients. Naturally, these providers may want to consult official guidelines at the very least. Unfortunately, they’ve come up empty handed.
