• Begin screening for ADHD in adult patients, prompted by the more obvious diagnosis of comorbid disorders such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and more.
• Treat ADHD effectively with medications, when present with comorbid disorders, and in a preferred order of treatment.
• Cite the important benefits of treating ADHD as early as possible in a patient’s life, to prevent complications of untreated ADHD down the road.
• Refer patients for adjunct treatments who suffer from identifiable dysfunctions that are not improved with ADHD medications.
