Don't panic. If your ADHD test was positive, seek a second opinion of a local mental health professional in your area who specializes in diagnosing and treating ADHD. This may include a psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, clinical social worker, neurologist, etc.
For adults, the How To Conquer ADHD program is an ADHD treatment guide with a distinct advantage: it was developed by an adult with ADHD who understands the unique challenges of the condition. This engaging, personal, perspective is often missing from other, more clinical, treatment guides written by doctors.
It helps adult ADHD sufferers get more organized, help manage money, manage a job, manage a household, navigate relationship issues, raise children, how to avoid impulsive or addictive tendencies, and more.
In other words, it helps adults deal with the wide array of challenges caused by ADHD. Priced at $19, it is a bargain compared to other ADHD treatment guides.
In my personal and clinical opinion, the Total Focus Program is one of the single most effective resources for children and parents struggling with ADHD. It teaches parents all about ADHD, teaches parents how children with ADHD view the world, how to manage challenging ADHD behaviors via behavioral tutorials, and presents the best ADHD treatment options.
Also, be sure to check out my reviews of popular treatment options such as ADHD medications, ADD natural remedies, ADHD behavior modification, the ADHD diet, neurofeedback for ADHD, how to calm hyperactive children, and how to create a calm home for children suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
