Free Teleseminar - Beyond Medication: Evidence Based Non-Medical Care

Date: Tuesday, February 21, 2012

Time: 9:00 pm  (New York Time)

Instructor: Mark Bertin, MD

Listen Over the Telephone or Internet!

While the benefits of medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been shown through numerous well designed studies, medication alone rarely addresses the full range of issues caused by this complex neurobiological condition. This talk will review research regarding behavioral interventions, parenting and educational approaches, along with a discussion of evidence for or against various popular complementary practices.

Trust : ADHD Support Talk Radio

This week my guest on ADHD Support Talk Radio was Melissa Orlov. We had a great discussion about Trust Issues and ADD / ADHD. For those of you who are not familiar with Melissa Orlov, she is the author of the book The ADHD Effect on Marriage: Understand and Rebuild Your Relationship in Six Steps. She also runs the website ADHD and Marriage.

The main focus of this discussion had to do with trust in marriages and romantic relationships. Most of what we discussed can also apply to other types of relationships too. I really think this show is worth a listen for anybody who has ADD / ADHD or has an Adult with ADD / ADHD in their life.

Motivation and the ADD / ADHD Mind

Last week I was busy preparing for and attending the CHADD Conference in Orlando, FL. It was a great conference and I connected with some wonderful ADD / ADHD professionals. Some of them will be joining me over the next few weeks on ADHD Support Talk Radio. Before I left for the conference Dr. Ari Tuckman joined me to talk about Motivation and the ADD / ADHD Mind. This was a great show and if you missed it you can listen to it right here, on the show website, and on iTunes.

 

 

The Motivation to Exercise

For some people with ADD / ADHD exercising can be challenging. Despite knowing how beneficial exercise is both physically and mentally some people still have trouble finding the motivation to exercise. Today on ADHD Support Talk Radio I was joined by Robert Tudisco who shared what motivates him to exercise. I highly recommend listening to Motivation, Exercise and ADD / ADHD. Robert Tudisco was one of the most inspirational guests that I've had on ADHD Support Talk Radio.
