ADHD Talk Radio 2007- ‘ADHD The Good News’
I am pleased to announce that I have been asked to be the guest on a Talk Radio Show called:
ADHD: The Good News, with Laurie Walsh.
This show will be recorded live on CKTB 610 AM St. Catharines, Ontario. That means that if you live in the Niagara Region (Canada or the US), or as far east as the Greater Toronto Area, you will be able to hear the show live, and call in with questions, if you like.
If you don’t live near the radio signal: you can listen online! Just visit: CKTB, and click on the ‘Listen Now’ Button on the top left. I would guess that you could call in as well, even if you are from Europe, Australia, etc - you would just have to pay the long distance charges.
The show will then be rebroadcast in many Canadian Cities - and I am including the schedule below.
ADHD: The Good News will cover all areas of ADD/ADHD, over 4 shows. We will talk about:
- What Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder/ Attention Deficit Disorder actually is
- How to get help from your doctor
- How to help your child at school
- Parenting strategies that work,
- Medications for ADD/ADHD - are they safe? Do you need them? and how do they work?
- And a whole lot more…
What you’ll hear on each show is:
Show 1: What is ADHD, and how do you get started?
Show 2: Common Myths about ADHD and the Facts
Show 3: ADHD and the Teenager
Show 4: Spring 07- End of School and Planning for the Summer
Show 4b: Summer 07: Back to school with ADHD
The show will initially air on CKTB St. Catharines, and here is the schedule.
It will be on at 12:00-1:00 pm Eastern Time on Saturdays:

Please pass this message on to anyone you know who may want to learn more about ADD or ADHD. We will cover a lot of information over the four shows. People in the Canadian Cities listed above can listen live on their radio stations - and of course, you can listen live online - as decribed above.
I really hope that you enjoy these radio shows. If you do listen to the show - and call in (especially if you are calling from outside of the radio listening area, because you are listening online), please post a comment on this blog, and I will email you with a special thank you for taking the time to participate (and I like to reward people for taking action).
Remember - it all starts this Saturday afternoon - I hope to hear from you!

(Please leave my name anonymous) I am a teacher who has had a hyper-active student arrive to class under the influence of what was more-than-likely THC or Canabus. I had to have hime suspended, but as you indicated in a earlier broadcast, the student could very likely have been legitimately attmpting to self-medicate himself, in an effort to take in the calming effects of thes drug, so that he could focus more on his academics… The downside is that the drug also produces other side-effects, such as giddiness a

(accidentally hit the send button… I will continue) such as giddiness, and of course, the inhalation of the smoke is not the greatest thing in the world for his lungs either. I am going to bring in a Drama teacher who is also a Child Counselor, to see if she can impart some self-calming tehniques that would allow the student to relax, without medication. I’ll let you know how I make out, but I recognize that in some cases, Ritlin should be used… I just think there are ways to minimize the need for it… I’ll let you know how I make out….

Hi,
Thank you for your comments - and I made sure that you remained anonymous.
Despite the fact that a teen may be ’self medicating’ while using marjuana, that doesn’t make it OK.
It is still illegal and has many negative effects.
Helping someone relax, when he/she has ADHD may help a little, but the core deficits will still be there.
The one point that you didn’t tell us - does this teen have a diagnosis of ADHD?
If so, some relaxation techniques may not be enough for someone who has ADHD and substance abuse.
Thanks for listening and commenting!
Dr. Kenny
