Here is what to expect on this week’s show:
Phil discusses the systematic approach to diagnosing and treating ADHD in patients of all ages. His focus on providing comprehensive care through assessments, treatment, and support services reflects a shift towards acknowledging and accepting ADHD as a neurodiverse condition that requires attention and understanding.
Phil emphasizes the importance of addressing skepticism towards ADHD diagnosis and the benefits of medication and accommodations for individuals with ADHD. He advocates for improved outcomes and quality of life, using examples like comparing ADHD medication side effects to common pain relievers and discussing the necessity of accommodations, such as extended time in exams, to support individuals with ADHD in achieving success.
Phil emphasizes the importance of evidence-based practices in advocating for ADHD acceptance and treatment. By using medical evidence and a data-driven approach, Phil aims to address funding battles and challenge misconceptions about ADHD in the National Health Service and educational institutions, with the goal of making positive impacts on individuals' lives through evidence-backed interventions and treatment options.
Phil explains digitized clinic processes streamline patient journeys and enhance assessments through video conferences. By offering assessments in patients' homes, the clinic reduces anxiety associated with in-person visits, leading to more accurate results and improved patient outcomes.
Phil and Diane explain the ADHD diagnosis process can be simplified by blending qualitative and quantitative data. By using screening tools, DSM criteria, and semi-structured interviews, clinicians can streamline the diagnostic process to a few hours of focused assessment.
