Fetale Alkoholspektrumstörung: FASD erkennen und einteilen | AMBOSS-Podcast | 160

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is one of the most common congenital chronic diseases in Germany – yet often goes undiagnosed. In this episode, Prof. Mirjam Landgraf from the LMU Center for Development and Complex Chronic Illnesses explains what's important when a diagnosis is made: How can FASD be detected early? Which diagnostic criteria are relevant? And how can affected individuals be sensitively addressed and supported over the long term? A practical look at symptoms, gaps in care, and the state of awareness in Germany – concise, clinically relevant, and with clear recommendations for action.
