About this Event
Psychoeducation is important for several reasons. It provides families with a clear, scientifically supported understanding of ADHD/ADD, empowering both parents or carers and the individual with ADHD/ADD by reducing reliance on clinicians. It aids in recognising symptoms and mitigating their impact, which is crucial given that ADHD/ADD can cause significant impairment across many areas of life. Patients and their families need guidance on how to manage these challenges effectively. Rather than rushing to initiate medication, it is essential to adequately educate the patient and their families, as this approach improves treatment adherence and helps manage expectations.
