ADHD Professionals
Once again the US is a long way ahead of the UK in helping Adults and children with ADD. With nearly 3 Million Adults diagnosed and 10 million children, there are many specialist doctors and coaches practising there. A few of these stand well above the crowd and I hae listed some of their sites below.
ADD/ADHD Doctors
Dr Daniel Amen - is at the forefront of making diagnosis an objective science using SPECT brain scans. His Clinics use neuroimaging to identify the six type of ADD, identified in his book: "Healing ADD".They create individualized treatment plans combining natural supplements, medications, dietary interventions and psychotherapy.
Dr Edward Hallowell - a doctor with ADHD himself, he is aleading author of several books on ADD such "Driven to Distraction"and "Superparenting for ADD", that are warm and compassionate. He is a firm believer that ADD brings positve as well as negative traits and that the key is to focus on the positive. This link is to his centres in the USA but has some useful information and a link to his blog.
Dr Thomas Brown - elegantly redefines ADD not as a behavior problem as a difference in using executive functions in six area: Activation: organizing, estimating time, prioritizing and getting started. Focus: sustaining and shifting focus. Effort: regulating alertness, effort, and speed. Emotion: modulating emotions. Memory: working memory and recall. Action: monitoring and regulating self-action. A valuable and comprehensive site.
Dr Don Kerson - is a specialist in the treatment of adults with ADHD and integrates psychotherapy with medication. His book, "Getting Unstuck: Unraveling the Knot of Depression, Attention, and Trauma", presents the understandings and techniques gathered over his broad clinical experience. In his site he explains that deep relaxation, overcoming the effects of childhood trauma and helping the mind train the brain, help get unstuck.
