How I deal with a lifelong journey of anxiety and depression.
My son was diagnosed with ADHD and I didn’t know anything about it except for the general stereotypes. As you might imagine, I was fearful and worried. But I knew a lot of that fear came from misconceptions. This book helped so much. If you or someone you know has ADHD, I cannot recommend this …
