Symposium on Mental Health and Psychiatry

LOCATION
ABOUT
Neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and autism in adults carry significant socio-economic consequences—both for the individual and for society.
Clinical approaches that can actually be deployed in the real-world constraints of clinic are rarely taught in medical training. These are crucial to prevent long-term disability and improve chances of social reintegration.
With many combined years of experience working with patients, ICT clinicians have developed methods that enhance diagnostic confidence, increase comfort with treatment, and ultimately improve outcomes for patients.
ATTENDEES
Physicians, including general practitioners, psychiatrists, and other medical specialists from the Antwerp province and surrounding areas. Potential attendees may also include insurance physicians and representatives from support organizations for individuals with ADHD and autism.
Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits will be requested in the category 'Ethics & Economics'.
