CHICAGO – What are the most important side effects to be aware of when medically treating adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder? What are the most common comorbidities and how should they be treated? And what is the latest in nonpharmaceutical, as well as emerging medical treatment for what Dr. Anthony L. Rostain, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, says is not a disease but a disorder?

In this video interview, recorded at Psychiatry Update 2015, sponsored by Current Psychiatry and the American Academy of Clinical Psychiatrists, Dr. Rostain shares what excites him most about emerging treatments for adult ADHD and what clinicians should be most concerned about when prescribing. He also discusses how ADHD overlaps with Tourette syndrome.
