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.
When your child or teen is affected by additional mental health concerns, these will generally be treated in conjunction with ADHD. 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.

ADHD According to Zoë: The Real Deal on Relationships, Finding Your Focus & Finding Your Keys
Women with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) will benefit heart, mind, and soul from reading Zoë Kessler’s new book ADHD According to Zoë: The Real Deal on Relationships, Finding Your Focus, and Finding Your Keys. Kessler, a freelance writer and author of Adoption Reunions, was diagnosed with ADHD well into adulthood. In this book, she shares, generously, her personal story of learning (often the hard way) how to thrive despite — and occasionally because of — her ADHD.
Each of the book’s 17 chapters chronicles an ADHD-related way of being, such as “being diagnosed,” “being impulsive,...

Do I Have ADHD?
“Do I have ADHD?”
It’s a question traditionally asked of a person’s family physician, since that’s typically the only healthcare professional with whom most people have an existing relationship.
But in the past few decades, the question of whether or not a person has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been posed to the Internet. And the Internet has responded.
Psych Central was one of the first mental health websites to offer an online ADHD quiz to test to see if a person might qualify for a diagnosis of attention deficit disorder, back in the late 1990s. We developed our quiz...

6 Critical Tips for Making the Most of Your ADHD Coaching
Working with a credentialed, experienced ADHD coach is critical for helping individuals with ADHD achieve their goals, capitalize on their strengths and build a fulfilling life. And like any important endeavor, this requires effort and hard work.
For instance, ADHD coaching is highly active and collaborative. It requires that clients try out different strategies and tools, said Aaron D. Smith, MS, LMSW, ACC, a certified ADHD coach who helps individuals with ADHD and executive functioning challenges to bridge the gap between their current performance and their potential.
It requires that clients share feedback on how these ...

ADHD and Work: 9 Tips for Thriving at the Office
Adults with ADHD are all-too aware of their shortcomings at work and regularly bash themselves for their inconsistent productivity and sinking motivation. But there are many things you can do to thrive at the office.
For starters, it’s important to recognize that all workers struggle.
“It would be a mistake to assume that non-ADHD or neurotypical workers do not struggle with some of the very same ebbs and flows of productivity, focus, and prioritization difficulties,” said Aaron D. Smith, MS, LMSW, ACC, a certified ADHD coach who helps individuals with ADHD and executive functioning challenges to bridge the gap betwe...

ADHD and Adults: Innovative Tools to Help You Get Things Done and Thrive
Today, we tend to think of technology as the enemy. After all, it steals our attention and makes it harder to focus. And when you have ADHD, it’s hard enough to sustain your concentration. It’s hard enough not to get distracted every few minutes.
But adults with ADHD can actually use technology to their advantage. The key is to find what works for you.
Sometimes, adults with ADHD don’t employ strategies that work for them individually because they force themselves to do things the way people without ADHD do. Many compare themselves to others and feel shame for needing different tools. Many also assume that everyone e...

ADHD and Adults: How to Use Your Strengths to Succeed
ADHD coach Aaron D. Smith regularly works with clients who believe something is inherently wrong with them. After all, for years, they’ve been criticized, ridiculed and reprimanded—maybe by their parents or teachers or other authority figures, he said. For years, clinicians and doctors have hyper-focused on the problems of ADHD. They viewed ADHD from a deficit-based model, versus seeing positive traits or strengths.
People with ADHD feel like ‘they are the problem’ not their behaviors.” They feel inadequate. They feel shame and self-doubt. This is especially true for people who were diagnosed as adults, Smith sai...

Movers, Dreamers, and Risk-Takers: Unlocking the Power of ADHD
When you have a disability, the world by and large tends to magnify and focus on what is “wrong” with you. Friends of mine who were diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in school were constantly told to “just sit down,” “behave,” and “do your work.” They were often labeled as “problem children” or told they were “hard to deal with” in the classroom.
Kevin Roberts, in his book Movers, Dreamers, and Risk-Takers: Unlocking the Power of ADHD, posits that this negative attitude toward people he affectionately calls “ADHD-ers” is part of the problem. He believes that changing the...

ADHD Coaching: Look to the Willow Tree
Partnering with a coach of any kind can lead to rewarding self-discovery. Whether specified as executive, life or career coach, these people are essentially teachers at their core. And as progressive educator/ liberal philosopher John Dewey remarked throughout the context of his life’s work in educational reform, you cannot so much teach individuals, or impart knowledge, as actually only help those who desire to learn.
The best teachers are essentially mentors (and counselors of sorts), drawing out any little glimpse they can sense and intuit that someone near them has even the smallest seed of will or fascination to lea...

10% Of US Children Diagnosed With ADHD, Study Finds
(CNN) — The number of children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has reached more than 10 percent, a significant increase during the past 20 years, according to a study released Friday.
The rise was most pronounced in minority groups, suggesting that better access to health insurance and mental health treatment through the Affordable Care Act might have played some role in the increase. The rate of diagnosis during that time period doubled in girls, although it was still much lower than in boys.
But the researchers say they found no evidence confirming frequent complaints that the conditi...

The Right Way to Get Assessed and Treated for Adult ADHD
Neuroscientists refer to the brain’s process for managing time, financial and goal achievements as its executive function. Those of us with good executive function take it for granted: We organize our daily activities and interactions in an efficient manner without much mental effort. That’s hardly true for adults who suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Less than a decade ago, referrals to my practice for an adult ADHD evaluation were virtually nonexistent. Professionals and the public assumed it was a child’s disorder and that these troubled children had somehow outgrown their problems by ad...

ADHD medication for kids: Is it safe? Does it help?
This study doesn’t answer the question of whether there are too many children on medication. Interestingly (and often surprisingly, for many people), other studies have shown that at least one-third and up to one-half of children with significant developmental and psychological problems go untreated. That’s a lot of kids who need help, either through some sort of therapy, educational support, or (for some) medication. This study also only addresses one medication, although it is the one that is most popularly prescribed.
Deciding what treatment option to use when you have a child with ADHD isn’t easy. Medication isn...

The Four Sub-Types of ADHD
Recently, I wrote a post about the four neural sub-types of depression. That classification was based on resting stage fMRI comparing depressive patients with controls; I hope someone does similar studies for other psychiatric conditions.
English: Symptoms of ADHD described by the literature (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The current post is an attempt to delineate what may come out in such a study if done for ADHD. I will be focusing on ADHD as it manifests in children, adolescents as well as adults.
I will be mostly relying on factor analytical studies of ADHD that have typically revealed 3 to 4 underlying factors.
