Christine A good therapist for ADHD??

Hi!
I am newly diagnosed and am trying to find the best care of this condition. Alot of therapists and doctors say , "Oh yes, we can treat that." I guess I am leery because ADHD can be so ellusive.

Well, I answered the questions and I was suppose to give the other test to my BFF but I never got around to dropping it off to her. I either cancelled, or didn't have time to go see her or just plain forgot. I ended up giving it to my sister, who doesn't really now me that well, to assess me. Finally, in late November I took it to the Dr and he took several… Continue

Jessica Ann Hobson Cleaning 101: It helps to be a little OCD when you have ADHD

I have recently discovered that my tendency to organize when I feel overwhelmed from my world is me applying my OCD tendencies to cope with my drive toward distraction! So for all the moms out there coping with a stressor like an overly messy house which occurred because you couldn't keep track of your house let alone the thoughts in your head, do not distress!

I have to create a schedule for specific days of the week when things happen, and yes I have to be neurotic about h

Christine Need some advice

Hi! I was diagnosed in October of 09 and have been treated with meds up until a couple of weeks ago. When I was on meds, I was the mom I ALWAYS knew I could be. I was able to stop and think and then react. I even finished things around the house and started to create some structure for our family....it was FANTASTIC. Unfortunately, I had med problems and have to start from scratch. I haven't been on stims for weeks and changed antidepressents. This is leaving me more irritable that ever. My stop… Continue
