I would like to take this opportunity to direct your attention to the attitude magazine website that has a large number of webinars from noted academic and professional experts in ADHD. For many with ADHD it’s often easier to watch a video on a specific ADHD topic then to read a book. While many with ADHD can sit and read for extended periods of time, it always struck me as odd that clinicians referred patients to books knowing their ability to sustain attention would be limited, especially in the evening when it medication affect us dwindled.

Explore the webinars on this site as a can be extremely helpful. On this blog site, I will continue to direct my patients in readers to reliable sources of information and clinical insights from my practice not available elsewhere.

I am honored to be invited to present a 60 minute workshop on the “Choice and Optimal Dosing of Medications for Adults with ADHD” with my co-presenter Dr. Janet Standard, a psychiatric Advanced Practice Nurse at the NYU Health Services.

Finding ADHD Experts Around the World

Because my patients travel from the U.S. or come to consult me from other countries, the question of locating experts in ADHD, especially for adults, comes up often. Here is my suggestion to locate such an expert.

Go to www.pubmed.com. This is the National Institute of Health website on medical publications.

In the search box, enter “ADHD” and the city and/or country in which you seek an expert.

Several publications will come up with authors in your designated location. Find one that is relevant, Open the link and you will see a summary of the publication.

The first author will often have an academic affiliation whose geography you can check. The first author often has his/her email address listed. You can email the author and ask if he/she sees patients or to whom he/she would refer someone for evaluation and treatment of ADHD.

You may have to go through emailing a few people to get to someone with the expertise you seek and is currently seeing patients.

Simple and effective. Hope this helps those who stumble across this blog.

Education about ADHD in adults is critical for everyone. In addition to my work in the public sector and assistance to public media (newspaper, magazines, and TV), I’m also involved in teaching physicians how to best identify their patients who have ADHD/ADD. My friend, Anthony Rostain, MD at the University of Pennsylvania and I did a 4 part video series (Medical Crossfire) explaining diagnosis, co-existing psychiatric conditions and treatments, both medication and therapies for adult ADD.

You are invited to view each of the segments here. You will need to register first. Don’t worry if you are not a physician. You will be able to understand the discussion. When you register: under “Profession” click on No Profession; under “Specialty” click on Non-clinical; under degree, well, you choose what’s appropriate.

These segments represent the opinions of internationally recognized experts speaking about the state of the art for this disorder. You will be very well informed after viewing each segment.

As I have said before, let science be the designated driver in the highway of opinions. Thank you again for your interest in my writings. I will be adding these video segments to my website in the near future.
