I’ve watched many ADDitude webinars, most are excellent. This one was disappointing. In the period of one hour, the issue of Inattentive ADHD, which is what this webinar was supposed to be about, was given a total of maybe 5 minutes. I think the following critique might be helpful for ADDitude and the presenters. Let me preface this by saying that I’m a neuroscientist with ADHD.

1. Considering the topic of the talk, the neuron/synapse/neurotransmitter discussion wasn’t necessary.
2. Dr. Brown broke in to Dr. Kennedy’s presentation, and went on way too long. That was just rude.
3. There was way too much time discussing medications, with none of that discussion even mentioning how those medications are used to treat Inattentive ADHD. Or even if they do. Or even if there are medications to treat Inattentive ADHD.
4. Dr. Brown plugging his books.
5. During the questions period at the end, Dr. Kennedy was never given the opportunity to respond to any questions. Admittedly, I stopped watching about 10 minutes from the end, so maybe those last 10 minutes were different.

I would seriously like to know more about Inattentive ADHD, so I hope if another Webinar on Inattentive ADHD is offered, the topic will actually be addressed. Thank you.

Sorry to be so critical, but feedback is important.
