ADHD Musings...
You'd think I'd know when to stop now that I have two book contracts...but no, I've signed up to be the features writer for Suite 101 on ADD/ADHD. ADHD is a big problem with kids and becoming more so with adults. Are you and/or your child (and it often runs in families---whether it's genetic or learned, we just don't know---) inattentive to others or tasks, hyperactive, impulsive? Go to http://addadhd.suite101.com and find out more about what's causing this situation and what can be done.
As a nurse practitioner, I've worked with a number of people struggling to overcome these behaviors, but they've all learned to cope without taking medication. There are plenty of self-care things that can be done to make life less stressful and more productive. Check in with me at the ADD/ADHD web site and find out.
Oh, and if it's not too much to ask---pass this blog on ADHD around to your friends, colleagues, and family. Millions are suffering from these issues and probably could use a little extra help and support. At Suite 101, there's even an ADD/ADHD forum and a blog for even more info and support.
Stay Well,
Carolyn
