Short
Courses to Include Marriage Series Dr. Hallowell announces two pairs
of seminars for those who struggle in their ADD-affected marriages. Based on
feedback from those who have taken a previous marriage short course, these courses are
offered in pairs where each course targets one spouse in the couple so that Dr. Hallowell
can address the specific issues of each spouse. The ADD Marriage for the Non-ADD
Spouse -
February 28 or March 28 Dr. Hallowell will provide you
with a brief overview of some of the major pitfalls in the ADD marriage and tell you why THERE
IS HOPE! You'll also have plenty of time to ask questions and hear the
questions of others (often strikingly like your own!) The ADD Marriage for the ADD
Spouse (Next Class Mar 6) ADD
marriages provide a host of issues that need management. As the ADD spouse, you may be
wondering why you married someone who has so little patience with you or why things are so
different now from when you were dating.
This course is specifically for
the ADD spouse. You have special issues revolving around communication patterns and
how your spouse behaves towards you (and you towards him/her!) that you need to be
thinking about. How do you keep from shutting down or getting angry? Why
doesn't this marriage feel like the one you signed up for? Your spouse is welcome to listen
if he/she wishes, and we recommend that you consider signing your spouse up for the
companion course, "The ADD Marriage for the Non-ADD Spouse". This session will be given on Monday, March
6 at 8:00 pm. EST or on Monday, April 3 at
8:00 pm. EST and consists of a short lecture with a long format Q&A. You
will find that hearing others' questions will be very reassuring - you are not alone!

that populate ADD marriages. This course is specifically for the non-ADD spouse

in if he/she wishes, and we recommend you consider signing your spouse up for the

March 28 at 8:00 pm EST and consists of a short lecture with a long format

are not alone!
ADD Medications - What They
Are and How They Work (Feb. 9) ADD
medications can be confusing. Find out what the options are, how they work to treat
symptoms, and potential side effects. Taught by Dr. John J. Ratey. The world of ADD medications is
confusing for both adults and for those who are choosing medications for their children.
In this course Dr. Ratey will tell you what the various medication options are for
treating ADD, how they work in the various systems of the brain to treat ADD
symptoms. As the author of "A User's Guide to the Brain", Dr. Ratey
is an expert on psycho-pharmacology and the workings of the brain. In addition
to explaining the biological effects of these medications, Dr. Ratey will review what
sort of side effects one might experience. He will also provide an overview of how
to monitor effectiveness and treatment. As medication is never a complete treatment
for ADD, we suggest participants in this course also consider "Non-Medicinal
Treatments for ADD". *Note
- this course has a more biological/medical bent than the one to be taught by Dr.
Hallowell on April 5th. Thursday, Feb. 9 at
8:00pm EST
Non-Medicinal Treatments for
ADD (Feb. 13) This
course explains the most important non-medicinal treatments for ADD - those things that
everyone with ADD should be doing to stay healthy. Taught
by Dr. John J. Ratey. All
people who have been diagnosed with ADD need to have an arsenal of strategies for keeping
their lives, and health, in order - whether they are taking medicaiton or not. This
course covers the most important non-medicinal options for improving your life if you have
ADD. In addition, Dr. Ratey will explain WHY these strategies work from a physical
and pscyhological point of view. Monday,
Feb. 13 at 8:00pm EST
Anxiety and Depression in ADD
Adults (Feb 15) ADD
leaves a person feeling as if they are facing potential disaster all the time. This course
delineates specific steps you can take to minimize worry and start to move away from
depression. Taught by Dr. Edward
M. Hallowell. ADD
leaves a person feeling as if they are facing potential disaster all the time - What did
we forget? What might we say wrong? ADD also presents many repetitive
challenges, not all of which are easy to navigate. These things lead to higher than
average rates of depression and significant anxiety. This session delineates
specific steps you can take to minimize worry and start to move away from depression.
Please note that this course will cover the same material as the course on January
19th, but is taught by Dr. Hallowell.

who might want to start an ADD support group in their area don’t, because they may
suffer from 2 common treatable conditions. Credentialitis

is hope for those with both conditions. If you ever
got frustrated because there was no ADD support group in your area, and no one who you
could really talk to for more than 15 minutes who really knew ADD here’s your chance
to do something about it. Create one. I created the Vancouver Adult ADD support group that’s
affiliated with CHADD Vancouver with some other people, and I’m not perfect and
despite that, it’s going pretty well. Length: 1 hour Format: Audio Class Cost: $7.95 For:
