The Manhattan Adult Attention Deficit Disorder Support Group's 30th anniversary talk: Thursday | May 26, 2022 | 6-8pm EDT Inattentive-Type ADHD: Underdiagnosed & Undertreated? w/ Mary V. Solanto, PhD Coming up: a discussion of the "other" ADHD: the Predominantly Inattentive counterpart to the better-known Combined variant. Sometimes just called Attention Deficit Disorder, the relevant symptoms can show up in different ways. Those with this "quieter" version of ADHD -- often detected later in life -- are less restless or impulsive or volatile. But they can struggle on other fronts. Among them: a seeming (or all-too-real) lack of focus; an issue with short-term memory; a slower mental processing speed; disorganization; poor time management; daydreamy-ness; shyness; or passivity. Any of which can interfere with school, work, social life, or family stability. Despite being official for 42 years, this Inattentive "presentation" has never been subjected to much research. So definitive statements are hard to make. But many think it's been overlooked, particularly among girls and women. What can be used to manage these symptoms? It turns out that -- in terms of treatment options -- the picture is similar throughout the world of ADHD. Meanwhile, our May 26 presenter will be the well-known psychologist Mary V. Solanto. Dr Solanto teaches pediatrics and psychiatry at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. (On the Hofstra campus in Uniondale, NY.) Before that, she taught at NYU; and for many years ran the ADHD clinic at Mount Sinai. In 2017-2018, Dr. Solanto sojourned in the Netherlands, an ADHD-minded corner of Europe. Dr. Solanto is perhaps best known for her manual for therapists -- Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment of Adult ADHD: Targeting Executive Dysfunction -- published by Guilford Press in 2011. Using the evidence-based program outlined in the book, Dr. Solanto has worked with more than 600 adults. That effort began with a grant from National Institute for Mental Health. Currently, she's working on an NIMH-funded project that's even bigger. Dr. Solanto's May 26 talk will mark her sixth time at our podium.
