Adult ADD Pyschiatrists in Atlanta? Can anyone recommend a Psychiatrist that treats Adult ADD in Atlanta? I have been working with a Psychiatrist but she does not specialize in Adult ADD (or even seem to have much experience). Her diagnosis of Adult ADD took about 10 minutes and she prescribed a combination of Wellbutrin and Adderall which helps some but I would feel better if I worked with someone with more experience in this field who may be knowledgeable about other treatment options.

me too! If you find someone, please let me know! I'm looking for someone too. It seems like most folks specialize in treating children. Actually, for me, even someone who usually works with children but has lots of ADD experience would be good. Quote

Atlanta Help Hi there: Have you tried looking in ADDitude's ADHD Directory? CHADD also has a good professional directory. And here's a good article in the new issue of ADDitude about working with an ADD coach - another option you might consider... I hope this helps! Quote
