    Hey charlieg,

     

    I don't think there are any medical professionals who participate in any kind of regular way online here, so the question in my mind is how to best help you begin to network with other medical professionals around this issue.

     

    National and state ADD conferences are good. Or, perhaps you could glean a list of ADD specialists in your state from one or more of your state's ADD organizations. An even better idea perhaps would be to attend a training specifically for medical professionals who treat ADD and to pose the question there, both to individuals and perhaps the audience. Daniel Amen, M.D. and John Ratey, M.D. have both trained medical professionals in our state over the years.

     

    It might also be helpful to try networking within any professional associations with whom you are affiliated.

     

    In my experience, regardless of the need, there's almost always others who have gone before you and who have found at least some solutions to the challenge. 

     

    If you're lucky, someone has published a book or article on this topic. A search on Amazon, or perhaps requesting assistance from a librarian might be helpful.

     

    My hope is that you'll be able to find a way to continue providing this valuable service in a way that serves you both professionally and personally. Thanks for all that you are doing. The ADD community needs more medical professionals like you. 

     

    Winnie, an ADD advocate
