ADHD Webinar Series, Session 1: ADHD in women – presentation, diagnosis and treatment through the lifespan

This event is Session 1 only of the ADHD Webinar series.

The first session in this series will explore the topic of ADHD in women: presentation, diagnosis and treatment through the lifespan. We will explain how ADHD presents in women at different ages, and why the diagnosis can be missed. We explore how treatments may vary as a result. 

We are delighted to announce the following speakers for Session 1 of the ADHD webinar series:
