Do you find yourself overwhelmed, disorganized, impatient, anxious or
late to get projects done…? Or do you take on far too many projects at the same time…? You may be surprised to discover that Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD, according to expert Dr. Edward Hallowell, hits more adults than we realize. ADD, hits an estimated 6 million Americans, and can cripple intelligent, creative adults.
Luckily breakthroughs in treatment are beginning to offer new hope to many who had simply given up…
Check out this Center for Adults living with ADD to see if you or somebody you know has it… There is a list of doctors from across the country listed there for those who need help to overcome ADD.
You’ll even find a questionnaire there to indicate if you should talk to a healthcare professional about adult ADD. You can learn more about medications and treatment options…
The problem with ADD sufferers is that too few know they have a problem ...and so people suffer in silence. If you recognize symptoms in yourself or people you work with ... you’ll be glad to know that a great deal of research has been done.... to help adults with ADD. The best place to start is likely to get a bit more information….
Here’s a list of recent ADD books by top experts in the field of adults with ADD. Now that I think of it, that’s the place to start with most anything connected to the brain…. What do you think?
Hi, Ellen,
Dr. Hallowell has a new book out called Crazy Busy that has some great tips on dealing with overwhelm. He shares my skepticism of the value of multi-tasking.
I think that almost anyone can benefit from tips written for ADD-ers, since the speed of modern life often makes us feel like we actually have ADD! A book I own and have used myself is ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life.
