Archive for ADHD Audio Newsletter Transcripts
When I first created a newsletter on ADD/ADHD, I did it as an audio newsletter. Thousands of people have listened to it and provided feedback on how helpful it’s been for them.
I wanted to provide the links to them all in one place.
At this time, I’ve been writing new articles on this blog, and soon I’ll be launching my ADHD Video Podcast at ADHD.TV.
So, here’s my gift to you – 27 audio lessons for you.
Listen to one, or listen to them all.
Bookmark this page and come back – you can always refer to them again and again.
I hope you enjoy and benefit from them.
Best,
Dr. Kenny
This article comes from a question from a reader, who asks: “I wanted to ask you, what causes ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)? There is so little information about the causes of ADHD it seems the medical world is at a loss for words. Also if we new what caused it we might be able to cure it rather than treat it.”
Or can ADHD be used as an excuse for bad behavior?

This is one of our members’ questions “How do you know if you have it”? This is an excellent question and a great place to begin.
Hi – this is Dr. Kenny Handelman. I am very excited to share with you the first edition of the ADHD Audio Newsletter. The first topic is “Looking Back, the History of ADHD”.
ADHD was first described in 1902 by Dr. Still. He recognized significant behavioral difficulties in a number of children in his practice. He realized that these behaviors were not related to brain damage or poor parenting. This is not a belief which was held for many years after that. In 1918 and 1919 there was a flu pandemic which led to many people developing brain damage related to it. These people had neurological difficulties and there were some people who also had concentration difficulties. This led to the recognition or calling of people who had inattention as having ‘minimal brain damage’. This was a common term in the 1930′s for what later became known as ADHD.

Posted by: Dr. Kenny Handelman | Comments (0)In May 2005, I began to use the power of the internet to share information with people about ADHD. I had people submit questions on my website, and then I would choose a ‘frequently asked question’, and answer it with an audio recording. I would then email out the answer to my subscribers.
