There are a lot of questions that can surround an ADHD diagnosis. But the stigmas that can sometimes be associated with it can make it difficult to get the help your family needs.

Read "Addressing Stigma and Propaganda About ADHD" at bit.ly/attStigmasMyths to hear from a former chair of the National Medical Association on how ADHD stigmas can affect the African-American community.

We're on at least 5 or 6 waiting lists for various therapy programs. Don't make sense.
