Michelle Mullaley Lecture, resource fair 2023

Symptoms of inattention, forgetfulness, disorganization are some of the hallmark symptoms of ADHD in children and adults - they are likely familiar to you if you have experienced them already! And yet those same symptoms can also reflect the impact of underlying anxiety, and especially traumatic experiences, on an individual's ability to think clearly and follow through effectively in daily life.

You'll leave Dr. Mullaley's discussion with knowledge about the impact of childhood trauma on the developing nervous system, the similarities to ADHD in the way that anxiety can present in some individuals, and understand more about the interplay of anxiety and attention difficulties in everyday functioning - which may make a difference in treatments and interventions that will be most effective!
