Complex ADHD: Understanding, Diagnosing & Treating Comorbidities in Concert (w/ Theresa Cerulli, MD)

ADHD rarely occurs in isolation. Most children and adults with ADHD have one or more co-occurring conditions, which almost always impact treatment and outcomes. “Complex ADHD” is a relatively new term that reflects this phenomenon. In this hour-long ADDitude webinar with Theresa Cerulli, M.D.,, learn more about complex ADHD, including how it is diagnosed, and how clinicians should approach treatment.

Thank you for providing quality information for free.

Thanks for your explanation on the difference between bipolar and ADHD. I might need to learn it by heart so I can explain to others! I’m diagnosed with both, and your explanation is bang on when it comes to my experience, which is further confirmation for me that I do in fact have both. Just to add: my hypomanic episodes are distinctly different from the hyperactivity, or any ‘ups’ or impulsivity that come with my ADHD. Great explanation, thank you.

This was a great lecture! Thank you! I would greatly appreciate it if you could list the resources Dr. Cerulli mentioned in her talk near the end of the lecture.

Can I ask a question? I'll probably never get a response from the channel but maybe someone can refer me to something/someone that answers it.

Anyway, here it is: can a boy predominantly hyperactive or combined symptoms move towards predominantly inattentive symptoms in their teenage and adult years? I mean this aside from how the (some of the) symptoms start getting muted/masked as the child ages/goes into adulthood.

Aid the adhd
Autism gets worse
Manage the autism
Become drained and adhd meds don't work,
Cant verbalize issues without sounding uninformed.
Cant have a discussion on proper procedure because words drop off.
Go off meds,
Out of the routine and now very difficult habitual stimulation.
Wait a week,
Level out.
Adhd in full swing,
Forget about the other issues.
Scrape by.
