Rick and ‘the others’ in the team – I think what you do here is important. I hadn’t seen ADD And Loving It, but stumbled across the web site and started watching the videos here. Then I read peoples’ experiences and decided to get a private diagnosis. I wouldn’t have had the sense to do that, or even known where to start, without having visited this site.
I by-passed my GP and she was annoyed with me for doing that, but admitted she wouldn’t have recognised ADHD in an adult so I would still be where I was months ago if I hadn’t taken the initiative. I am very grateful that I found an excellent psych and I am very grateful for this site and for the people who run and populate it. It has made a difference to me. Medication and education have turned my life aound – if I lose my job now it’s just cut backs – a few months ago it would have been because I was floundering and overwhelmed.
So yes….this site made a huge difference to me and I have found some lovely people to ‘chat’ to and who have been very generous in sharing their experiences and advice.
Wgreen is right – Adult ADHD is not well served – at least not in the UK.
