Assessing & treating adult ADHD can be both very challenging as well as highly rewarding for client and clinician alike. Psychologist & author, Dr. Russell Ramsay joins us for an in-depth discussion of the assessment and treatment of adult ADHD building on themes in his new workbook, The Adult ADHD and Anxiety Workbook. In this discussion we cover:
- why Dr. Ramsay wanted to write a workbook focused on both ADHD and anxiety and why individuals with ADHD may be particularly prone to anxiety
- a brief description of the symptom clusters of ADHD and why a dimensional approach can be helpful
- an evolutionary angle to understanding ADHD
- an extensive discussion of tricky diagnostic issues including: nuance around contextualizing the later emergence of childhood symptoms; assessing ADHD in female clients; understanding the impact of "masking" on the presentation of symptoms; the impact of high trait agreeableness and pleasing behaviours on functional impacts; the course of symptoms over the lifetime
- the contribution of undiagnosed ADHD to treatment resistance around other co-morbid conditions
- addressing the interpersonal challenges that can come with ADHD
- understanding rejection sensitivity in the context of ADHD
- a strengths-based lens on ADHD
- the so-called "ADHD tax"
