What this ADD/ADHD page is about . . .Attention Deficit Disorder (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a difference in brain functioning that can have disastrous consequences in our society if undiagnosed and untreated. It can also be a blessing when recognized. It is not an easy diagnosis. Only a trained and experienced professional should attempt such a diagnosis. The information on this site is not a substitute for such work. This site is to give the public, those who have ADD, as well as those who live and work with them more information. Unfortunately there are a number of myths about ADD, some shared by health care professionals. |
Therefore, it is important that people trying to find
out if their problems can be attributed to this condition
go to a health care provider who has extensive training
and experience in treating ADD. For adults, it is
important to find someone with this experience with adult
ADD. To this end, I am trying to put together a list of
local
health care providers who are experienced in the
treatment and care of ADD. (I don't have anyone on the
list yet.)

Research
on brain functioning has blossomed in this decade and
unfortunately many health care providers who are very
professional and very well-meaning are not up-to-date in
this narrow area. They may miss ADD in assessing a
situation or may diagnose it when there is another cause
for the symptoms.

To keep this page to a manageable size, the links are in separate files. The links are mostly files on other sites around the world about ADD / ADHD. In one file the links are listed in alphabetical order, with annotations. In a separate file some are in categorized sections as well. A text-only version is available but updated less frequently.
