ADHD Across the Lifespan: How Symptoms Evolve and Fluctuate

EXPERT: Maggie Sibley, Ph.D.

We now know that ADHD may emerge later in life in some individuals, and we have insight into factors that impact earlier versus later onset presentations. We also understand that very few people experience a form of ADHD that is always severe and debilitating. Instead, most people appear to experience a fluctuating course through adulthood in which certain situations may be associated with the flare up or down of ADHD symptoms. 

In this webinar, you will learn:

• About the latest science behind our modern conceptualization of ADHD across the lifespan
• About the difference between late-onset and late-identified ADHD, and whether people can develop ADHD for the first time as adults 
• Whether people can be considered “recovered” from ADHD if symptoms have been at bay for a long time
• About the situations that can trigger flare-ups or lead to an abatement of ADHD symptoms 
• How to decide if a person with mild ADHD-like traits qualifies for a clinical diagnosis, and what happens if they do not meet ADHD criteria but still want help 
• About the implications for diagnosis and treatment, as well as how loved ones can best support individuals with ADHD through ups and downs — and what individuals with ADHD can do to live happy and healthy lives
