Module 1 – Anatomy and aetiology of ADHD
In module one, we look more closely at the anatomy of the brain and learn what is happening in the brain of a patient with ADHD.
We will look at the natural development of the brain from birth to seven years and why the age of seven is such an important milestone in brain development. We explore the DSM-V, ICD-10diagnostic criteria and NICE Guidance NG87.
We review the standards we must meet to be an assessor to diagnose, treat and care for patients of all ages, with ADHD.
