“ADHD is a very common, inherited brain condition that causes silent suffering and keeps people from reaching their potential at school, work and home.  It affects every relationship a person has, and leads to frustration and disappointment in everyone involved.  As many as 10% of people of all ages have ADHD, and brain scans show that parts of the brain that normally modulate attention and behavior are not working the way they should.  ADHD is genetic, so you are born with it.  No one causes it and the inconsistent behavior and performance of people with ADHD isn’t under their control or done on purpose, although it can appear that way.  It can lead to depression, anxiety and alcohol or drug use.

As this excellent video from the Today show illustrates, appropriate treatment that includes medication and learning lifestyle and communication skills can lead to dramatic improvement in function and healthier relationships.  At Florida Clinical Research Center, we are helping to develop the latest medications to treat this neurologic brain disorder, and we need your help.  Call us at 941-747-7900 or visit our website at www.FLCRC.comto learn more about the latest information on ADHD and how we can help you or someone you know.” - Andrew J.
