Check out Peter discussing this lecture and your unanswered questions on our brand new podcast "Any Further Questions?' available on Apple and Spotify ****** Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a combination of hyperactivity, impulsiveness and inattention which significantly impacts those living with the condition. The medical approach to the ADHD pattern of behaviour has been very successful in childhood but the results have been somewhat less impressive in adulthood. This has led to a reappraisal of both causes and treatment in both age groups. Should the conventional, neurotypical world accommodate people with ADHD as different, rather than disabled? This lecture was recorded by Peter Hill on 11th March 2024 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London Peter is a Professor and Consultant in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry who now works in private medical practice, having previously held senior academic and clinical posts at St George’s, University of London, and at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.
