Guest:
Dr. Umesh Jain is a distinguished Canadian psychiatrist whose career has been defined by his pioneering contributions to the field of adult ADHD. Beginning his journey in medical school in Canada and then honing his clinical skills in the United States with a residency and fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Jain soon realized his passion lay in research rather than clinical practice. After returning to Canada, he dedicated 27 years to the esteemed Clark Institute of Psychiatry, later known as the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and worked at Sick Kids Hospital. In 1996, he established Canada's first research-based adult ADHD program, introducing groundbreaking advancements in the treatment and understanding of the disorder at a time when the recognition of adult ADHD was in its infancy, following its inclusion in the DSM-4 just two years prior.
Dr. Jain is celebrated for his pivotal role in validating the persistence of ADHD into adulthood, a concept only recently accepted in the broader medical community since 1989, owing to the work of Lee Heckman and Gabrielle Weiss. Through his unwavering commitment to research and innovation, Dr. Jain has made a lasting impact on mental health care and the lives of individuals with ADHD.
