Oktatás célja

The course introduces students to the developmental psychopathology framework of ADHD, with a focus on understanding diagnostic models, research findings, and intervention strategies. Students will learn to navigate the scientific literature, critically evaluate the evidence base of different approaches, and understand how this knowledge can inform research, clinical and psychoeducational work, without being authorized to carry out interventions themselves.  Supported/Integrated Use: In this mode, the use of AI is an integral part of the task. The goal is to develop AI literacy and critical thinking. "The use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is permitted and encouraged in this course. You may use tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, DALL-E) for brainstorming, drafting, content generation, or coding. Students bear sole responsibility for the accuracy of the generated content. Hallucination is not an exonerating circumstance."

Tantárgy tartalma

Myths and misconceptions about ADHD and how to counter them with scientific evidence. Historical development of the ADHD construct (from MBD to ADHD, changing presentations). Etiology: multiple genetic and environmental risk factors, subtle neurobiological differences, developmental trajectories. Diagnostic frameworks: DSM and ICD criteria, dimensional perspectives, lifespan considerations. Theories of ADHD with emphasis on contextual influences (family, school, workplace). Consequences of untreated ADHD: academic underachievement, health risks, injuries, comorbidities, economic burden Evidence-based interventions: pharmacological treatments, psychosocial and psychoeducational approaches, long-term outcomes Critical appraisal of scientific literature and evidence levels, based on international consensus statements Current debates and future directions in ADHD research
