There is a lot of incorrect information about ADHD treatment on the internet.  Effect size can help you sort through the claims to understand what’s proven to work and, more importantly, how likely one treatment is to work vs. another.

Dr. Ned Hallowell is doing a documentary about ADHD and is looking for women who have not yet been diagnosed, but think they might have ADHD.  If you would like to be filmed for his documentary, then please contact his assistant, Dianne, to see if you might qualify.  You can reach her at HallowellEvents@yahoo.com.  The producers will screen you to see if you are appropriate for their project.

In this post, Melissa writes about: the gap between the amazing relationship you thought you were signing up for, and the relationship you actually got with adult ADHD in the mix; why it’s so important to grieve about the loss of your romantic dreams; and how to do it.
