The Treatment of Attention Deficit Disorder in Adults

Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) talk about how this disorder, which went undiagnosed for years, has affected their lives, from their choice of spouses, to work, and what treatments they have found to help them. Biofeedback, which is growing as a treatment choice, is explained and demonstrated by its founder, Dr. Joel Lubar. Drug treatment through the use of antidepressants and stimulants is discussed, along with behavioral changes that can help the person with ADD and his or her spouse and family. Psychiatrists John Ratey and Ned Hallowell, experts in this field, provide background and perspective. From The Doctor Is In. A Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center production. (29 minutes)
