Rick Webster’s son, Richy, stood out at school -- but not necessarily in a good way. He wasn’t doing his homework, he was having combative interactions with teachers, and his grades were suffering as a result. While his classmates had trouble once in a while, Richy’s difficulties were constant. Rick and his wife tried to get their 14-year-old son to focus on his studies, but the more they pushed, the more his behavior spiraled out of control. The yelling, a steady stream of calls from the school, and Richy’s failing grades fueled the ever-present sense of strain in their home.
After months of struggling, Richy’s parents and teachers met to discuss the situation. As they talked through his issues, each describing how the boy’s behavior was having a negative impact on his academic and family life, it became more obvious than ever that Richy needed some help.
“We started with a pediatrician, but ended up at a psychiatric center,” says Rick. “After several sessions and endless questions about Richy’s behavior, we learned that his actions were symptomatic of ADHD.”

Adults with ADD often find that they have a hard time falling asleep at night and an even harder time waking up in the morning. In this teleclass we’ll look at some practical ways in which ADDers can regulate their sleep patterns and their energy levels.
Although pharmacological treatments are the mainstay of therapy for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults, psychosocial treatments may be a useful adjunct and improve patients' quality of life.
Psychosocial treatments include not only psychotherapy and counseling but less-well known approaches such as an ADHD "coach" and a professional organizer, said Carol E. Watkins, M.D., of Northern Country Psychiatric Associates in Baltimore.
Dr. Watkins outlined the array of psychosocial treatments available to adults with ADHD at the U.S. Psychiatric & Mental Health Congress here.
Here’s a cruel Catch-22 for you. Millions of American adults have ADD. How do you write an effective self-help book for someone who has trouble keeping focused? For the answer, you can turn to Dr. Stephanie Moulton Sarkis, whose new book 10 Simple Solutions to Adult ADD, succinctly provides strategies that sufferers of Attention Deficit Disorder can internalize.
“There’s a lot of information about ADD out there,” says Sarkis, a counselor and ADD/ADHD coach. “It’s often clinical, complicated, and long, not exactly perfect for someone with an attention problem. If you have ADD, you need straightforward tools presented quickly and engagingly. And if you’re lucky enough to get them, your life is going to improve.”
PORTLAND (Sep 22, 2006): Leonardo Da Vinci, Lewis Carroll, Salvador Dali, Winston Churchill, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, Benjamin Franklin…these famous names may all have one thing in common: Attention Deficit Disorder, a condition causing difficulties resulting in distraction, inattention, impulsivity and sometimes, hyperactivity.
To promote National Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Awareness Day (A.D./H.D.) – celebrated on Wednesday – the Portland-based counseling service A.D.D. with Ease is sponsoring an essay contest, “How A.D./H.D. Has Impacted My Life,” for which middle and high school students and parents in the southern Maine region are invited to write about their experiences with the disability.
“We’re always trying to work with people’s strengths,” said J.J. Stuart, a coach with A.D.D. with Ease whose child has the disability. “Some people find out that they need practical strategies, which help them through the end of the day. We hope that more people will become more aware that there is a support system out there for them. They’re not alone.”
To help patients, families and caregivers better understand Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Shire Pharmaceuticals Inc., will host the eighth annual ADHD Experts on Call on September 20, 2006, from 8 A.M. to midnight EDT. Celebrity designer Ty Pennington, who was diagnosed with ADHD as a teenager, is back for the third year in a row to talk about his experience managing the disorder. Some of the nation’s top ADHD experts will answer questions at the toll-free telephone hotline, 1-888-ASK-ADHD.
The hotline will provide live access to English- and Spanish-speaking experts including health care professionals, educators and advocates who can answer questions regarding the disorder. In addition, a confidential, one-on-one on-line forum will be available at http://www.ADHDExpertsOnCall.com throughout the day.

Some people seem to glide through life. At home or at work, there's a place for everything and everything is in its place. Orderliness and focus come easily. Projects are pursued to completion on a step-by-step basis.
Then there are those who find even straightforward tasks, such as organizing a closet or painting a bathroom, to be very difficult. These include the estimated 3 percent to 6 percent of adults who suffer from attention deficit disorder (ADD).
