Over the years, there are more and more patients seeking an ADHD evaluation. With time constraints in primary care, it continues to be a challenge to address these patients’ needs and requests. This session will discuss how there are different approaches to this challenge and how team members may start to develop more confidence in their role of handling ADHD in adults over time. Adequate follow up and resources, and continued discussion are important aspects of ADHD care as well.
