ADHD and Eating Disorders Workshop

Join Consultant Psychiatrist Dr. John Roche and other experts for an interactive workshop exploring the intersection of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and eating disorders.

This session will delve into:

• Understanding ADHD and its overlap with eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and ARFID.
