Failing to Treat Addiction with or without ADHD

ADHD and addictive behavior are highly correlated. Some ADHD professionals automatically screen for addictions when diagnosing ADHD. They also screen for ADHD when diagnosed with an addiction. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) has an insightful conversation with parent coach Elaine Taylor-Klaus about failing to treat both conditions or just treating one in isolation. If you have ADHD or an addiction, this is a show you won’t want to miss.
