The Truth Behind ADHD

Earlier this week, I started a little controversy among our readers about Diagnosing ADHD and how important it really is to have the diagnosis.  The responses that came in were quite incredible, and nothing short of what I expected for a condition that is still greatly misunderstood by many (not our readers of course). I [...]

In a recent survey to our readers we found out that one of the biggest stresses and challenges facing you right now is money, finances, and the economy. We are definitely living in challenging times, and you are NOT alone! Not even close to being alone. And while that might be helpful information…I often tell [...]

I’ve been a little quiet these last few months as I have been preparing a very special event.  Today I’d like to share with you the 2009 ADHD Family Summit. Starting this coming Monday, May 4th at 9 PM EDT / 6 PM PDT, you’ll be able to hear from some of the leading experts [...]

Last night I had the great pleasure of being involved in a health and wellness fair at a local area school.  I had been invited to be the guest speaker, to a group of parents, about anxiety in elementary school children. It was a really fun event, and while I hope that I was able [...]

I know it can feel like it, but we don’t just wake up one day and find ourselves suddenly surrounded by struggle – stress – and frustration in any part of our lives.  Quite to the contrary, getting to these point starts with a chain of events that quite carefully lead up to the point [...]

Before leaving the office last night, I took a few minutes to just “shoot the breeze” with Dr. Cerulli.  Our schedules very rarely overlap, and it’s always nice to catch up and talk about things unrelated to ADHD. Anyway, we were talking about how things are going and what both of us are juggling at [...]

It’s official!  President Obama has been sworn into office. You might be wondering – what does this have to do with ADHD? In some ways, it has absolutely nothing to do with ADHD, and yet at the same time, it has everything to do with what children with ADHD face every single day! Watching the [...]
