Dr. Faraone is on the Board of the World Federation of ADHD, the organization that has published a book called The World Federation of ADHD Guide.The Guide has been made available free in open access format as an e-book with versions in English, Chinese, and Spanish. The Guide is intended to provide professionals in low- to middle-income countries a single source for the "essentials" for "diagnosing and managing ADHD in their daily clinical work."

 

What this Guide also provides is basic information for parents and adults living with ADHD for their own use, as well as to help them guide and inform the professionals who are helping them. Not all doctors and clinicians are aware of the basics of ADHD. Sharing this guide, or information from it, could prove extremely helpful in finding the best way forward through various treatment modalities. It could become an essential tool for advocating for ourselves and our loved ones.

 

Here is the link to the Guide. I hope you find it valuable.

 

I'd also like to remind you that my weight loss and healthy lifestyle coaching group called  Fast Forward to Success (fastforwardtosuccess.net) will be starting on May 7.

 

PS - If Fast Forward to Success is not the program you are looking for, perhaps you know someone for whom it might be a perfect fit! Please let them know about it. Thanks!
