ADHD Explainer - Ron Sterling MD

Author of "The Adult ADD Factbook: The Truth About Adult Attention Deficit Disorder Updated June 2013." Celebrating 12th year of my ground-breaking book (still ahead of its time). Gifting a free copy and creating a section to discuss and answer questions.

My 2013 Book is free to download without subscribing. Please Note: I am open to any questions here ("AMA"). You do not have to read the whole book to start a discussion or ask a question. However, the book will be important for you to have, since my answers and comments may often refer you to sections in the book.

"Hot Topics" -- Posts interrogating recently published "mainstream" misinformation, trends in mainstream ADHD discussions, and deeper dives into trending questions sent to me. I might open a discussion on alcohol and ADHD or the term "stimulants." Feel free to submit ideas or questions for Hot Topic posts. Critiques and reviews of relevant New York Times content are posted in Section "NYTPsychWatch."

Two 2014 videos done on invitation by a respected local Seattle video journalist. Currently posted at youtube. You can watch them here and comment or ask questions. If you watch them on youtube you will not be able to post comments there that will show up here. The February 2014 video post at youtube received 272 comments. Reviewing those comments can be very helpful. I was very inspired by the support and engagement that took place there.

From 2004-2010, I posted reviews and critiques of mainstream media at my PsychWatch page at DearShrink.com. I am bringing it back but narrowing it to commentary and interrogations of selected past and current New York Times content, with a focus on NYT's ADHD coverage. Spoiler alert: It's not pretty.

Rants, raves, memes, poems, art, photographs, musings, and other odds and ends.
