Clinician's Guide to Adult ADHD Comorbidities ― Case Studies

Marketing text: The diagnosis and management of ADHD co-occurring with other disorders such as anxiety, depression, and personality disorders remain as a major challenge for clinicians in all age groups. This book guides clinicians to every step in the diagnosis and management of the co morbidity of adult ADHD through case studies.

Each case has a good description of the diagnostic features and the management approaches and is accompanied by questions and answers to reflect the important aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis and management of both ADHD and the comorbid disorders.

The cases are very interesting and are picked up from true clinical encounters. Ample current and valid references are provided for each area.
