Important Information: Please Read
Clinical medicine is the practical combination of medical experience and medical science. Patient care comes from many different sources: our training, research, advice from colleagues, patient suggestions, and reflection to name a few. So it is with this handbook: a combination of all these things brought together from the author's experience of treating ADHD.
The information in this publication is not a substitute for consulting with a credentialed health care provider. The author's intent is to provide basic information and encouragement for successfully managing ADHD.
