A groundbreaking new book titled “Dealing with ADHD” has recently been launched, offering a comprehensive and compassionate guide to understanding and managing Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Written by the esteemed mental health advocate and leader, Dr. David Rex Orgen, this book aims to provide practical advice for individuals with ADHD, their families, caregivers, educators, and mental health professionals.
Drawing from his extensive experience working with individuals with ADHD, Dr. Orgen’s inspiration for writing the book stemmed from witnessing the struggles and triumphs of those with ADHD.
He wanted to create a resource that could empower, educate, and provide clarity for those affected by this disorder.
One of the key aspects addressed in the book is the common misconceptions about ADHD, such as the belief that it is only a childhood disorder or that individuals with ADHD lack intelligence or motivation.
Instead, the book highlights the complexities of ADHD, its impact on daily life, and offers practical strategies for managing symptoms.
In the Ghanaian context, the book addresses significant challenges faced by individuals with ADHD, including limited access to specialized care, social stigma, and insufficient educational support. Dr. Orgen advocates for community-based support systems and emphasizes the importance of resilience and self-advocacy.
The book provides actionable tips and strategies for daily life, such as setting realistic goals, using visual reminders, and incorporating mindfulness, exercise, and nutrition to manage ADHD symptoms.
Dr. Orgen also recommends seeking assistance from mental health professionals and organizations specializing in ADHD for support and diagnosis.
Dr. Orgen’s hope is that his book will contribute to a more inclusive understanding of ADHD, promoting greater empathy and awareness.
He plans to continue his advocacy through workshops, online courses, and awareness campaigns aimed at educating parents, teachers, and employers about effectively supporting individuals with ADHD.
As Dr. Orgen eloquently puts it, “ADHD is not a limitation but a different way of experiencing the world. With the right support, understanding, and strategies, individuals with ADHD can harness their unique strengths and thrive.”
About the author, Dr. David Rex Orgen, he is a trailblazing leader, best-selling author, and influential speaker known for his commitment to excellence, innovation, and service.
