ADHD: Controversy, Key Research Findings, Rising Prevalence, and Promise

Each month The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation hosts a Meet the Scientist Webinar featuring a researcher discussing the latest findings related to mental illness. In January, 2021, the Foundation featured Dr. Stephen P. Hinshaw of The University of California, San Francisco and The University of California, Berkeley. Description: Dr. Stephen Hinshaw will discuss the many controversies surrounding attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), basing the presentation in scientific findings rather than the myths that so often surround the topic. Included will be processes underlying ADHD, prevalence in males vs. females, risk for long-term impairments, the role of school policies in predicting rising rates of diagnosis, and a brief summary of effective treatments.
