When it comes to ADD/ADHD, it is relatively rare that people just have the one condition. It is very common that people have 2 or even 3 conditions.
What else comes with ADD/ADHD?
It is very common for people to have the following conditions in addition to ADD/ADHD:
When doctors are prescribing medication for ADD/ADHD, they may not account for the co-existing condition. Sometimes, the ADD/ADHD medication may impact on the other condition, or vice-versa – i.e. the medication for the other condition (i.e. anxiety) impacts the ADD/ADHD. It is important to understand the nature of this relationship.
This post contains the audio from an interview that I did with Jennifer Koretsky for the Virtual ADHD Conference 2010. In it, I share some facts about ADD/ADHD and co-existing conditions. And, I also encourage you to join us for the conference – where I will spend an hour teaching on this concept, and there will be a lot of other ADD/ADHD experts to help you to find answers to your biggest issues, and learn more about many aspects of this challenging condition. The Virtual ADHD Conference is on October 4, 5 and 6 2010.
Here’s the interview: ADHD Medication and Co-existing Conditions By: Dr. Kenny Handelman
Please note – in standard medical terminology – the term for this is: Comorbidity. In other words, a doctor may say: “he has ADHD and comorbid Depression”. It’s my feeling that people with ADD/ADHD have to deal with so much negativity a lot of the time, that I generally use the term: Co-existing rather than comorbid. Just my preference 
A Bribe To Consider Joining the ADHD Virtual Conference:
Is it wrong to bribe you to consider joining the ADHD Virtual Conference?
From my perspective, if you are considering joining, I want to give you a bonus – or a reason why to join today. If you feel that the conference isn’t for you, then this ‘bribe’ won’t impact you, and you won’t mind anyway, right?
To help to motivate you – especially since it is August – I’ll give a bonus to anyone who signs up before the end of August 2010. So – to qualify for the bonus, you’ll need to sign up before midnight on August 31, 2010.
What will the bonus be?
I’ve been thinking about what I can do to help you after the ADHD Virtual Conference. This conference will host a lot of great ADHD experts, and you may be inundated with information.
What you may need, after a conference like this, is the opportunity to ask questions about how to personalize the information to suit your personal situation or circumstances.
To help you with that – if you sign up from this blog (or my email list), I will host a question and answer call. I anticipate this will be a small group call, which will allow you to ask your questions of me directly. And different than many of the other question and answer calls I’ve done in the past, this one will be with an ‘open telephone line’. That will allow you to talk directly with me, and we can explore your issues in a discussion.
The date for the call will be chosen in early October. It will be one weeknight (i.e. Monday through Thursday) at 9 pm eastern time. There will only be one time and date for the call. If you can’t attend the call live, you can forward detailed question(s), which I’ll answer and you can listen to the recording. And if you attend live, I’ll chat directly with you.
The call will go for approximately 1 hour (or less or more depending on how many questions there are).
How many people will be on this call? If past experience is a measure, it will likely be a small group. This is a great opportunity for you to have a discussion with me, so that I can bring all of my experience and knowledge of ADD/ADHD to help you out in a small, personal setting.
Here’s what to do now:
If you feel like the ADHD Virtual Conference would be of benefit to you, and you’d like the opportunity to have a small group question and answer call with me (to discuss your personal questions or situation), then follow these steps:
As a disclaimer, our company receives a small referral fee for sending you to the virtual conference through our link. However, we are encouraging you to participate because we believe that you’ll get great value out of the virtual conference, if you decide to participate.
I hope you’ll join me for the ADHD Virtual Conference!
Best,
Dr. Kenny
