Attention deficit disorder is a serious mental health issue that affects the lives not only of children and teens, but millions of adults as well. So we’re pleased to announce the launch of our latest blog, ADHD In Focus, that will focus on topics in attention deficit disorder (ADHD).

ADHD In Focus is hosted by Kathryn Goetzke. Kathryn is the driving force behind the non-profit organization for depression called iFred (the International Foundation for Research and Education on Depression). iFred is dedicated to encouraging research on depression and reducing the stigma associated with the disease.

In addition to her incredible work on iFred, Kathryn is someone who actually battles attention deficit disorder, hence the reason she agreed to write for this blog. I’m proud to welcome her to the Psych Central family, as I expect that the sharing of her experiences here will help us all better understand not only what ADHD is about, but also strategies one can use to help combat it in everyday life.
