When I think of the agony I've had to go through, living with what now seems an utterly classic case of ADHD, and now grown up, it is so affirming to read that Dr. Barklay concludes not one method of treatment -- behavioral modification, medication, external devices, inner talk, medication (you really need to repeat this one), organizational strategies, and so on, NOR all of these strategies put together is going to make living with someone -- child, student, adolescent, etc. with ADHD easy.But fortunately a right mixture of these strategies, through lots of trial and error and experimentation will make it a lot easier.Now that's one statement worth knowing and accepting--as you try the 50th technique or combination thereof.The second statement that Dr Barklay makes and that needs to be thought deeply about is that 80% (Barklay estimates)of people with ADHD has a coeval condition, i.e., anxiety, low self-esteem, mood swings, depression, etc., for lots of possibly 'hard-wired' and/or environmental reasons. I know the 'proper' term is 'Co-morbid.' But would some administrator that works for the APA or a member of the DSM committee(s) kindly REMOVE that term for diagnoses that address cognitive, mood, or perceptual disorders'?Suppose someone were to say, "The breadth of competencies among mental health professionals is co-morbid with the profound range in pathologies that those who enter the mental health professions seem to possess?"Instead, just figure that the 'Dennis the Menace' and 'Denise the Caprice' may have other things going on along with ADHD, so just take a deep breath, and organize a Sherlock Holmes committee if you can.
