The Children's Anxiety Institute is a new website that provides information and support to parents and loved ones of children with anxiety disorders and phobias. Anxiety can often overlap with ADHD and because of this Rich Presta, the founder and director of the Institute, wanted to include information about ADHD to parents who visit the Children's Anxiety Institute site. He asked to interview me about some of the basics of ADHD.
Below are a few of the questions addressed in the interview.
*What is ADHD?
*Since kids can't always find the words for what they're feeling, what does ADHD look like?
*How is a diagnosis made?
*Are there different types of ADHD?
*How do you tell the difference between an energetic child and ADHD?
*Are there lifestyle factors or other changes a parent can make to help?
*What effect can ADHD have on the rest of the family?
