ADHD and Marriage Blog

There are lots of extra challenges in many households this time of year – but there is opportunity for growth and love, too.  Here’s my idea to make this year’s holiday season happier and easier – seek and celebrate the gifts you already have.

John Ratey, author of Spark!, has just posted a wonderful new website that explains the science behind why it's so good for people with ADHD (and also people without) to exercise.  He explains in detailed but understandable language how exercise's impact on the brain helps with ADHD, stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, age-related memory loss and more.

Dr. Ned Hallowell and I have both been asked by the editors of Psychology Today to join their ranks of bloggers.  Today I created my first post there, titled "ADHD Isn't Just for Kids - Adults Feel Big Impact in Marriage."  It's an overview to introduce readers to the basics of why one should be paying attention to adult ADHD.  For those of you who have "curious minds," take a peek at the wide variety of offerings at the Psychology Today site home page - some very interesting ideas explored there.
