Description: This workshop redefines ADHD as a spectrum of distinct brain types rather than a single disorder. Participants learn how imaging reveals patterns behind impulsivity, inattention, and emotional regulation, and how each type responds to different interventions. The session offers brain-based tools using nutrition, lifestyle, and therapy to improve focus, mood, and daily functioning.
Syllabus Description: Based on the brain scans and clinical histories of over 20,000 patients with ADHD, this workshop will help clinicians properly diagnose ADHD and subtype it into 7 different types. They will also learn the clinical symptoms, brain imaging patterns and treatments for each type.
