Hosted in-person at Foothills
ADHD and anxiety have a complicated relationship. They can be difficult to tell apart and one can mimic the other. All too often though they arrive together with over a quarter of youth with ADHD also having an anxiety disorder. This can delay diagnosis, increase impairment and make treatment more challenging. Join a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist as he explores the overlap of these two conditions and explains how to support that anxious, absent-minded person in your life.
Hosted in-person: 745 37 Street NW, Calgary Alberta.
