Alternative Treatment for Adult ADD / ADHD

There's a great new book out about alternative treatment for adult ADD / ADHD. It's called Natural Relief for Adult ADHD: Complementary Strategies for Increasing Focus, Attention, and Motivation With or Without Medication by Dr. Stephanie Sarkis. I highly recommend this book. It's quick and easy to read and full of great information about numerous alternative treatment options for Adult ADD / ADHD.  Dr. Sarkis covers the many different treatment options and tells you which ones work and which ones don't work. She supports this with research and data too. 

There are so many people out there claiming to have cures for ADD / ADHD. Anybody can tell you their cure works and will try and sell it to you. Before you put your time, energy and money into any of these cures, please read Natural Relief for Adult ADHD: Complementary Strategies for Increasing Focus, Attention, and Motivation With or Without Medication. There's finally a resource out there telling you what works and what doesn't work!

ADHD According to Zoe: The Real Deal on Relationships, Finding Your Focus, and Finding Your Keys

I want to let all my blog readers know about great a new book that has come out! It's called ADHD According to Zoe: The Real Deal on Relationships, Finding Your Focus, and Finding Your Keys by Zoe Kessler. Like the title says, this book is THE REAL DEAL. Zoe really tells it like it is and opens up in this book. In addition to candidly sharing her struggles of living as a woman with ADD, she also offers practical tips and strategies to other Women with ADHD. If you are woman with ADD / ADHD or trying to better understand women with ADD / ADHD, I highly reccomend adding this book to you ADD / ADHD Library.

Focus and Willpower

My guest this week on ADHD Support Talk Radio was Dr. Thomas E. Brown. We had an great discussion about Focus, Willpower and Adult ADD / ADHD. Dr. Brown is a leading ADD / ADHD expert and researcher. His newest book A New Understanding of ADHD in Children and Adults: Executive Function Impairments was just published last month. I highly recommend taking a listen to the show and reading the book.

ADD / ADHD Medication Resource

As an ADD / ADHD Coach I educate my clients and help them develop effective skills and systems. I am not a trained medical professional and I can not and will not give out any advice about medication. I am able to let people know about ADD / ADHD medication resources though.

ADHD Medication Rules: Paying Attention To The Meds For Paying Attention by Dr. Charles Paker is THE ADD / ADHD Medication resource. It's a 170 page E-Book. That means you will get instant access to the book once you pay for it. As long as you don't print out all 170 pages and leave them on your floor it is a wonderful resource for people looking for answers and information about ADD / ADHD medications.
