The event was split into three interdependent parts. In the beginning, Dr. Michalopoulou made an introduction to ADHD explaining the main symptomatology of the two most common types of the disorder (Inattentive and Hyperactive). She presented the diagnostic criteria of both types, according to DSM-5, and highlighted the heterogeneity in the presentation of ADHD across different individuals. Dr. Michalopoulou ended her talk by reporting the main causes, the comorbidities and the supporting needs of individuals with ADHD. The second part of the talk, presented by Dr. Klados, focused around the neurobiological correlates of ADHD, highlighting the importance of the frontal cortex, the limbic system and the RAS. Then, Dr. Klados introduced neurofeedback training and explained the benefits of this type of therapy against the conventional pharmacological approaches. The final part of the event constituted of a live neurofeedback session, delivered by Dr. Klados and Mr. Stergiadis. In this session the audience had the chance to observe and try how a real neurofeedback session is being conducted and how an individual is able to actively modulate his/hers brain activity, through an interactive procedure, than includes visual rewards.

Σχετικα με την εκδήλωση

Η Διαταραχή Ελλειμματικής Προσοχής και Υπερκινητικότητας (ΔΕΠΥ) είναι μια από τις συχνότερες νευροβιολογικές διαταραχές της παιδικής ηλικίας, η οποία συνεχίζεται, κατά ένα σημαντικό ποσοστό, και στην ενήλικη ζωή.

Σκοπός της παρούσας εκδήλωσης είναι να ενημερώσει το ευρύ κοινό γύρω από την ΔΕΠΥ και να δείξει την επίδρασή της στην καθημερινότητα των ατόμων με ΔΕΠΥ και στο οικογενειακό τους περιβάλλον. 

Θα πραγματοποιηθεί η παρουσίαση μιας πρωτοποριακής και αποτελεσματικής θεραπευτικής μεθόδου για τη ΔΕΠΥ, που ονομάζεται νευροανάδραση. Το κοινό θα έχει την ευκαιρία να παρακολουθήσει ζωντανά πώς εφαρμόζεται η νευροανάδραση και πώς η μέθοδος αυτή μπορεί να εκπαιδεύσει τον εγκέφαλο ώστε να εξαλείψει τα συμπτώματα της ΔΕΠΥ.
