Dr. James Lewis - ADHD

Why are so many children and adolescents who have ADHD falling through the cracks?

Parents feel guilty and powerless.

Their children struggle with diminished self-esteem.

According to Dr. James Lewis, the answer is that
it’s never just ADHD!

Dr. Lewis has found, through his over 30 years of ADHD experience, that every child who has ADHD also has at least one coexisting condition that also needs to be managed. Some of the conditions that frequently coexist with ADHD include:

• Anxiety
• Anger
• Mood Swings
• Insomnia
• Sleep Difficulties
• Emotional Impulsivity
• Learning disabilities

Dr. Lewis gives families a comprehensive strategy that takes into account the unique set of conditions that have been holding a child back. Each individual plan is designed to help the child reach both academic and social success.
When the ADHD and the coexisting conditions are managed, the child can fully use their innate strengths to meet their goals and gain the success they’ve been desperately seeking.

With this comprehensive approach, parents find they are not alone on this journey as they put into place the plan that helps their child with ADHD and beyond, while children grow into the adults they were meant to be.

“James Lewis has written a superb, reader-friendly handbook on ADHD that covers
all the ground any reader could want and even some new ground I’ve never seen in
such a book before. I highly recommend this book, and admire the clinical acumen as well as compassion and wit of its author.”
