An expert-led, evidence-based review of pharmacological treatment approaches for adult ADHD, delivered by Dr. Joe Johnson (Consultant Psychiatrist). The session summarises evidence showing that stimulants have greater short-term efficacy than some psychological and neurostimulatory interventions for adults with ADHD.
Dr. Johnson also presents a meta-analysis, outlining amfetamines as preferred first-choice medications for short-term treatment of adult ADHD. He closes with detail on Elvanse®(lisdexamfetamine dimesylate), comparing it to other treatment options and presenting how its prodrug technology sets it apart.
