The Howard County Public School System will host a free workshop called “ADHD and Irritability: Is There a Connection?” The workshop will address how adults trying to help children with ADHD should think about irritability. The workshop also will discuss research that is beginning to offer clues about brain mechanisms and underlying irritability, and new ways to approach treatment.
The workshop features speaker Dr. Kenneth E. Towbin, chief of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in the Emotion and Development Branch at the National Institute of Mental Health Intramural Research Program. Towbin’s interests include emotional dysregulation in children and adolescents, bipolar disorder, tic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and pervasive developmental disorders. The Intramural Research Program focuses its research on identifying and treating childhood bipolar disorder and severe irritability in children.
