ADHD criteria and diagnostic tools are inadequate for testing adults and individuals with comorbid conditions, which few clinicians today recognize and identify during the evaluation process, according to a new ADHD expert panel.
Quality ADHD care is scarce, according to the consortium, because most healthcare professionals lack an “understanding about the intersection between culture and ADHD presentation and management.”
The development of universal best practices and consistent use of objective testing would help improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes for patients, especially adults who don’t present stereotypical hyperactive or impulsive symptoms and those who come from diverse cultures or socio-economic backgrounds. However, few objective, evidence-based tools exist today.
“Taken together, low reimbursements coupled with high administrative burden highlights the persistent lack of parity between mental health and physical health in our country today,” the panel wrote. “We believe that payers play a critical role in fixing our current mental health crisis through evolution of their payment and utilization management models for mental health.”
The one-day meeting included psychiatrists, neurologists, developmental pediatricians, pediatricians, nurse practitioners, psychologists, neuropsychologists, and patient advocates.
