NYC Adult AD/HD Screening Day Presented by CHADD of New York City and NYU School of Medicine.

Free screening to test adults for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

(PRWEB) May 3, 2004 --Despite widespread recognition as a children's disorder, AD/HD (Attention- Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) affects millions of adults who are undiagnosed and untreated. To help remedy this, the New York University School of Medicine Adult ADHD program, in conjunction with CHADD of New York City (Children & Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), will offer free screening, referrals and education for adults.

Date: Friday, May 7, 2004

Time: 8:30am-3:45pm.

Screening will take place on a first come-first served basis; please expect to spend approximately one hour.

Location: Helmsley Hotel - 212 East 42nd Street, Manhattan (between 2nd & 3rd Avenues) - 3rd Floor Knickerbocker Suite.

About the Event: Attendees will be offered the opportunity to take the Adult ADHD Self Report Scale (ASRS v.1.1), a self-screening instrument designed to reveal the likelihood of adult ADHD and determine whether further evaluation is needed. Medical personnel will be available to discuss the results of the screening and provide appropriate referrals for full diagnostic evaluations and treatment. Additionally, the attendees will be able to learn more about adult ADHD through live information sessions and question-and-answer periods.

Treatment will NOT be provided.
