Webinar description:

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) rarely exists in isolation—and it rarely presents as a straightforward diagnosis. Symptoms of anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and other conditions can closely resemble ADHD, while comorbidity often complicates the clinical picture.

In this webinar, understand how symptom patterns overlap and diverge across transdiagnostic dimensions such as attention, impulsivity, and emotional regulation, and where Conners Comprehensive Behavior Rating Scales™ 2nd Edition (Conners CBRS^® 2) and Conners 4th Edition™ (Conners 4) can help distinguish ADHD from other conditions. Through a demonstration of the Conners tools, get the latest in differential diagnosis best practices to support a comprehensive assessment approach.

Learning objectives:

• Describe areas of overlap and distinction between ADHD, anxiety, mood, and trauma-related presentations.

• Apply a multi-method assessment approach using Conners CBRS 2, Conners 4, and other standardized, norm-referenced tools.

• Recognize best practices in differential diagnosis to reduce ADHD misdiagnosis risk.
