How to Find the Right ADHD Coach for You
You also procrastinate. You’re constantly running late. Planning makes you break out in hives (figuratively). You feel like life is pulling you in a thousand directions, and you’re all over the place. You feel like you’ve yet to reach your potential, and accomplishing even small goals feels really hard. Or you’d like to advance in your career, or start your own business. These are all challenges, obstacles and opportunities that ADHD coaches can help with. According to Bonnie Mincu, a seasoned ADHD coach, an ADHD coach is a catalyst for change. They’re able to discern the kind of solutions each client needs, and ...

This article discusses the possible causes research has identified so far that may help explain why some children and teenagers get ADHD, while others do not. It then summarizes some of the most well-researched risk factors for ADHD. Possible Causes of Childhood ADHD Genes ADHD appears to have some type of genetic basis in the majority of cases, as a child with ADHD is four times as likely to have had a relative who was also diagnosed with attention deficit disorder.

ADHD Among African-Americans
This study did not address the very important question of differential treatment of ADHD among children in various racial and ethnic groups. Yet, research suggests a number of factors affect treatment for racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S., including lack of health care providers who understand different cultures, inability to pay for care, and lack of knowledge regarding effective treatments. According to Melvin Oatis, MD, writing for the American Professional Society of ADHD and Related Disorders (PDF): Seeking and receiving treatment for a mental health disorder like ADHD can be a complex process that is influence...

The ADHD Advantage: What You Thought Was a Diagnosis May Be Your Greatest Strength
“There is a vast world of possibility for people out there with the ADHD trait.” With this, Dale Archer has us rethinking what hinders and what helps us. In his new book, The ADHD Advantage: What You Thought Was a Diagnosis May Be Your Greatest Strength, Archer gets past the idea of ADHD as a problem to cope with and recasts it as one of our most overlooked assets — an asset that has evolutionary and entrepreneurial advantages. Archer, a psychiatrist, begins with the story of Ty Pennington, the star of Extreme Home Makeover, who learned to channel what was once labeled as “challenging” behavior into traits t...

Solving the Puzzle of Your ADD/ADHD Child: Natural Alternatives for Hard-to-Raise Children
Raising any child can feel like a puzzle. However, when your child has ADD or ADHD, that puzzle can seem to have a few missing pieces. This was the case for Laura J. Stevens with her first son, Tommy. As she describes in Solving the Puzzle of Your ADD/ADHD Child: Natural Alternatives for Hard-to-Raise Children, when Tommy was four, a pediatric neurologist concluded that he was hyperactive and “would probably experience sever learning problems in school and always require special education classes.” Something about that conclusion didn’t sit well with Stevens, who has a master’s degree in nutritional science and h...

Childhood & Teenager ADHD Symptoms
The main features of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (or ADHD) are inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity. But because most young children and even teenagers may display these behaviors from time to time, it is important not to assume that every child or teen you see with these symptoms has ADHD. Symptoms of attention hyperactivity deficit disorder usually develop over several months. In general, impulsiveness and hyperactivity are observed before one notices the lack of attention, which often appears later. It also may go unnoticed because the “inattentive daydreamer” may be overlooked when the person...

Book Review: Transforming ADHD
ADHD is not as it sounds — an attention deficit disorder. According to the authors of Transforming ADHD: Simple, Effective Attention & Action Regulation Skills To Help You Focus & Succeed, Greg Crosby, MA, LPC, and Tonya K. Lippert, PhD, ADHD is a difficulty regulating and adjusting attention to fit the situation you are in. Guided by the interdisciplinary approach known as interpersonal neurobiology, Crosby and Lippert show that ADHD is about much more than simply learning to pay attention. It is about successfully navigating and recognizing the external and internal environments that influence attention. ...

ADHD Study Links Teen ’ s Symptoms With Digital Media Use
(CNN) — The more teens check social media and stream video, the more likely they might develop symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a new study suggests. The study, published in the medical journal JAMA on Tuesday, sheds light on how more research is needed to determine whether symptoms of the disorder, commonly called ADHD, are possibly caused by digital media use. “If we can determine if there is a potential causal link that is consistent across studies, then we can design interventions to curb media exposure. Even simple educational information to let teachers, parents, and pediatric heal...

Book Review: What Your ADHD Child Wishes You Knew
While ADHD can rob children of the executive functioning skills that are pivotal in life, it can also rob both them and their parents of the very relationship that can help improve those skills. More often than not as ADHD children struggle to complete tasks, remember important items, and focus attention long enough to hold a conversation, their parents find themselves equally frustrated, and most likely, not in the best place to parent them. What is missing is understanding. In her new book, What Your ADHD Child Wishes You Knew: Working Together to Empower Kids for Success in School and Life, Sharon Saline, Psy.D., offers...

Problems & Diagnoses Related to Childhood ADHD
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often does not occur alone in children and teens. Common co-occurring problems include learning disabilities, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder.

The best treatment for your child’s or teen’s mental health concerns is through a partnership with a well-qualified and experienced mental health professional, such as a child psychologist.
