ADD and Loving It

Last year Canadian Landmark Forum graduates Rick and Ava Green wrote, directed and produced a documentary film last year about Attention Deficit Disorder, “ADD and Loving it?!”, which was acclaimed by the Toronto Globe and Mail and played on American Public Television. The film shows how adult ADD, if properly addressed, can turn from a big hidden handicap to an actual ally in allowing those with ADD to achieve tremendous success.

View the trailer of the film below, or visit the ADD and Loving It blog to get more information about ADD or to buy the DVD.

    Great stuff! I am a Nurse Practitioner with a Master’s Degree and think this is one of the the ways to treat ADD . I think individualized care that measures severity of the disease and planning with the patient, his/her care, will bring this disease under great control. I do not think there is one answer in the treatment of ADD, but certainly, we need to explore more than just medication to treat the disease.

    I want to confess that I myself have ADD. It is sometimes disabling but is not the end of the world. I managed to grow and love people and contro my anger and hate. I was able to be successful lawyer and raise my three children who were abandoned by their father.
    Love loving people and they are part my life sharing goodness
