Although ADHD is a condition commonly thought of as only affecting children, for nearly 9 million adults in the United States, ADHD is very much a reality. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, adults with ADHD often struggle with getting organized, sticking to a job, remembering or keeping appointments and being productive. This podcast series will address some of these everyday realities and offer tips and suggestions from those who have been there. Podcast participants are paid consultants for McNeil Pediatrics™, Division of Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
