chadd?
Nov 07, 2009 - 11:12 PM - by trishcan
Does anyone on these forums belong to chadd? My doctor suggested the website as a resource, but I'm hesitant to join, mostly because of the membership fee.

I'm a student on a budget and I don't mind spending the cash if it's a sweet place to get ideas and whatnot, but I'd be sorely disappointed if the only information I find is recycled or available elsewhere free.

Also, are there decent forums? As active as these? I appreciate the day-to-day contact and support,... [Read More]

Nov 07, 2009 - 1:27 PM - by fridayschild
I was diagnosed in June, started medication, and I must live in a bubble, because up to last week I've encountered nothing but supportive, educated people. My therapist has warned me about possible stigma, and I haven't been that concerned--I figure I've learned every way to stand up for myself already from being gay.

Last week I went to get an EKG, my psychiatrist wanted me to have one done because I'm taking concerta. My doctor's clinic scheduled an EKG and echocardiogram, even... [Read More]

How do you handle rages?
Nov 07, 2009 - 12:28 AM - by JenE
I'd really like to know how you handle rages. My little guy is still having impulse issues and tonight had another rage. It's been a little while since he's had one--probably a month or more so it took me by surprise.

I picked them up from school and had ordered pizza for carryout. We usually do delivery but I wanted something different tonight. They didn't know about the change. When I told them in the car we had to go pick up the pizza, he freaked out. I mean calm to rage... [Read More]

Nov 06, 2009 - 8:48 AM - by tinytinis
Well, We do want to have children, and soon, since we have been together for 4 years. I am diagnosed with SAD and recently ADD(on meds for dep) and my man is diagnosed ADHD, Tourette, Insomnia .
