Agreed. One of my own utopian fantasies revolves around the shape of modern psychiatry, and I dream of a revamped educational system designed for early recognition and proper treatment of ADD. Most individuals, adults and children alike, do not want…

Beyond Medication: Procrastination and Psychotherapy for Adults With ADD

Despite ever mounting evidence of the profound and pervasive influence of attentional disorders in a range of public spheres, from depression to substance abuse, from the educational system to the penal system, these conditions remain poorly understood, inaccurately diagnosed, and ineffectively treated. This is due, in large part I believe, to the complicated relationships between ADD and procrastination, dissociation, and trauma. Although this is a complex topic indeed, I will do my best to be… Continue

What Should One Expect To Learn From A Psychiatrist About Depression?

I am constantly meeting patients who have been evaluated by multiple psychiatrists and/or multiple therapists. Nevertheless they have no clear idea what the practitioners thought was wrong with them or why they were being given certain medications and/or therapy. My quarrel with the fragmented American mental health system is that no one who is capable of diagnosing and prescribing accurately seems to have the time or the inclination to do the explaining, and educating is such a vital part of an… Continue

Thanks for getting back to me! What I would need from you is just your web address and a brief description of your practice - you can take a look at the Coach Directory on the main page of the group Coaching Corner to get an idea of what information I'm listing there. I'd love to add you to the list!

Hi Doc! I started a new group here on ADDer World, Coaching Corner. I'd love for you to join.

If you'd like to be listed, please send me the information you'd like displayed. Please feel free to add discussions to the group with whatever resources you'd like to share. Hope to see you there!

HAPPY MONDAY TO ALL OF US STEELERS FANS!!! Wow! What an exciting game that was last night with the Cardinals! For a second, I was really getting scared...... But as usual, the Steelers stepped it up a notch and made another victory! Pittsburgh is definitely celebrating today!

That is cool, I like to read posts and think about them! It keeps my brain occupied, but I do have a personal bias for myself to know I really had not choice in medication, I think I am one of those lucky anomolies that medication is about the only fix along with a really understanding and patient head doctor and friends!

Hi Doc -
Great essay. I learned much from such a short piece. Also, a good way to promote your new book. How can I not want to buy it and recommend it to friends and colleagues? You write; I'll read.

Dear Dr. Kerson--

Thanks for adding me as a friend. I did have a chance to browse your website, and found your approach fascinating.

As far as my weekend goes, I am still adjusting to my ADHD meds, so I am trying to be kind to my brain and body.

Otherwise, it is a brave new world out there (to take a little Shakespeare/Huxley out of context), and I intend to carve a place for myself in it.

Best wishes--
