Chances are, you have encountered someone with adult ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) in your practice. If you are like many counselors, you may have written off adult ADHD as “just another fad”, believed that it is “something you outgrow”, or assumed that it is “overdiagnosed” in our society.
Research actually shows the opposite- that adult ADHD is likely underdiagnosed and/or misdiagnosed, and that these folx do not have the support that they need to navigate the unique challenges that come with adult ADHD (Chung et al., 2019). Additionally, many adults have also developed compensatory strategies that end up masking their challenges (Canela et al., 2017), which means that we, as counselors, have an ethical responsibility to better understand the complexities and nuances of adult ADHD. It is critical to understand (not just on paper, but in practice) how the diagnostic criteria for adult ADHD translate into the therapy room when you are sitting with someone who is struggling.
Adult ADHD goes beyond the symptoms described in the DSM, and in fact, research suggests that additional challenges, such as frequent emotional dysregulation, should be considered when assessing and diagnosing adult ADHD (Soler-Gutiérrez et al., 2023). This presentation will explore how to “translate” the diagnostic criteria for adult ADHD into the real world, assessment tools for adult ADHD, unique challenges associated with adult ADHD that are often missed in the diagnostic criteria, factors that influence underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis, neurodivergent-affirming interventions to support individuals with adult ADHD, and how intersectionality impacts individuals with adult ADHD.
