Testing Out Video On Blog

I am finally trying video out today!

I have been thinking about trying "video" out for so long, and somehow I have always managed to stay clear of it. Well not today! While out on a walk with my wife today, I decided that today was the day.

Today I was going to take the plunge and get a video up on the Internet... no matter what it took.

And you know what? I had a blast doing this!

Please take a minute to listen to this message, and let me know what you think.





I really would love to hear your thoughts on next week's "Newsletter" topic, as well as your thoughts about what I have to say about "The Perfect Season!"

ADHD: Conspiracy Theories Or Fact Of Life?

There are many people out there - sending various different messages about ADHD:

• Strength - Gift
• Natural Cures And Remedies
• Pharmaceutical Company Agenda
• Psychiatry Is Evil
• Brain Based Disorder
• Behavioral Disorder
• Misdiagnosis
• Label / Statistic

Which one are you following the most?

Me? I don't believe in black and white - nothing is that simple.

The world we live in exists in shades of grey...

Everything falls on a spectrum - somewhere in the middle.

Regardless of what you believe about ADHD - it is very much real. You can choose to fight it, choose to ignore it, or simply choose to learn the game and play the best you can.

Some truths:

• Medication is typically the first recommendation for treating ADHD
• Pharmaceutical companies heavily recruit and market to medical doctors
• Medical disorders are typically treated with medication.

Truth #1 - ADHD or Not

Regardless of whether you, your child, or a loved one really has ADHD - there is ALWAYS something else happening.

There are always problems at home or problems at school or problems with self-esteem, self-worth, and self-representation or problems with society - not fitting in - not having enough - not feeling loved.

I could ramble on and on about all the other things that can contribute to - reinforce - and even mimic ADHD symptoms.

My message to you, as always:

What does your gut tell you?

Is it ADHD alone? Is it some other behavioral / medical / mental health disorder?

Or could it just be as simple as something right in front of our eyes that we are too emotionally attached to or close to - to see?

What else could be going on that makes everything else think it's ADHD?
