ADDA Kicks Off AD/HD Awareness Campaign With Regional Meeting On Oct. 20 In Atlanta, GA

The Attention Deficit Disorder
Association (ADDA) knows how difficult it can be for the 8 million adults
who live with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). Due to a
lack of awareness about AD/HD and the negative stigma surrounding this
disorder, 85 percent of these adults remain undiagnosed, leading to
difficulties with family and other relationships and educational and
employment problems.



In order to provide hope for these adults living in the dark, ADDA is
holding four regional meetings this fall to shed light on this disorder and
present effective strategies for handling these everyday challenges.



The next meeting is being held Oct. 20 in Atlanta, GA.



When: Saturday, October 20 from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.



Where: Crowne Plaza Altanta-Buckhead, 3377 Peachtree Road, N.E.,



Atlanta, GA

October 19 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Crowne Plaza Atlanta-Buckhead.



Well-respected experts in the medical and mental health fields, as well
as AD/HD professionals will provide facts about AD/HD symptoms, diagnosis
and treatment, in addition to explaining how people can successfully cope
with AD/HD in all aspects of their lives. Sessions will also provide
coaches with insight into coaching for AD/HD.



Dr. Robert Doyle will give a keynote address on Diagnosing and Treating
the Adult AD/HD: Advances in Adult Arena, and Judith Goldberg and Yvonne
Pennington, PhD will also present at the meeting, along with other
well-known experts.



Bringing together a renowned group of AD/HD experts, the regional
meetings will provide unparalleled educational and networking opportunities
