Helping the Brain Walk and Chew Gum at the Same Time: An Update on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Sunday May 9, 2018, in the BUF Conference Room


Research has completely changed our conception of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and expanded our treatment options. In the past this condition was called “Minimal Brain Dysfunction” and kids were zombied out on Ritalin to prevent them from misbehaving. Now we have better answers for these questions: Who gets ADHD and why? Where do you find ADHD in the brain? What are the short and long-term outcomes of this condition? What medical and psychological treatments are effective for ADHD?

Beth Nyblade, a Clinical, School and Forensic Psychologist, will discuss the questions above. She’ll also bring a Macarena tape to see if anyone present at the forum has ADHD (LOL).
