Are you an adult living with ADHD? If so, you know about the challenges ADHD can bring to your life. You have goals and dreams, just like everyone else. But ADHD can make it difficult to achieve everything that is meaningful to you. You’re not alone. An estimated 4 to 6% of Canadian adults are living with ADHD. Statistics also show that most adults with ADHD are not receiving appropriate treatments to help them reach their full potential.
Be informed. Understand what we know from science. Consider your options, based on facts and not assumptions. And hear directly from adults who are living their best lives with the support of current, scientifically supported treatments.
Here’s your chance to learn more. Canadian Health & Family, a program hosted by Dr. Marla Shapiro, will present an episode devoted to ADHD called, ADHD: Living A Full Life. Canadian Health & Family episodes focus on disease awareness and prevention, with discussions from Canada’s most recognized medical experts. The upcoming show will feature the Possibilities Clinic’s Dr. Doron Almagor. Dr. Almagor is a Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychiatrist with expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, and in disorders that often go along with ADHD like anxiety, depression, and Learning Disabilities. Dr. Almagor will discuss what he’s learned from his adult patients living with ADHD. He’ll talk about how important scientifically supported treatments are in ADHD—and not just for improving how you function from 9:00 to 5:00. You need support after your workday, as well, when friends, family and your own dreams demand and deserve your attention. You’ll meet an adult with ADHD in the episode, too. He’ll share his story of ADHD—both the challenges and the meaningful successes he’s accomplished with education, treatment, courage, and determination.
