Hi,
Just wanted to highlight a course thats just starting on ADHD, might be of interest to others of you out there.
Its run via Coursera, the link is here: https://www.coursera.org/course/adhd (or google Coursera, then search for ADHD).
Basically, if you haven't come across this yet, the new 'cool thing' is for universities to offer undergraduate level courses free of charge over the internet. The phenomena is known as MOOCs if you're geeky enough to research it. Universities get publicity and reach a huge audience, typically in the order of 20,000+ students globally take each course. You get completely free training. Some courses offer a certificate at the end and varying amounts of coursework to earn it. For this one on ADHD, there's a weekly quiz that you have to score more than 90% on average in to get the certificate (you can refer to your notes and the internet though when answering it!). Or you can just watch the lectures and take what you want to from them, with no obligation.
The ADHD one looks pretty good so far, its American so the diagnosis criteria and treatment may be slightly different, but still should be relevant. I'm certain quite a lot of it is going to go over my head, but hoping to end up much more well-informed by the end of it.
Hope some of you will join me in taking it and post below what you think!
