New book on ADHD by Dr. David Rex Orgen tackles stigma, provides practical guidance

Dr. David Rex Orgen, a distinguished mental health advocate and leader, has launched his new book, Dealing with ADHD, a comprehensive guide aimed at demystifying Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and offering practical strategies for managing it.

The book provides valuable insights for individuals with ADHD, their families, educators, and mental health professionals, delivering compassionate advice rooted in Orgen’s extensive experience.

*Dealing with ADHD* addresses common misconceptions, including the mistaken beliefs that ADHD only affects children or that it reflects a lack of intelligence or motivation. Instead, Dr. Orgen explores the complexities of ADHD, highlighting its impact on daily life and offering practical techniques for managing symptoms, from using visual reminders to prioritising tasks and fostering healthy routines.

“I was inspired by the triumphs and struggles of those with ADHD,” Dr. Orgen shared, “and I wanted to create a resource to empower and provide clarity.”

ADHD in the Ghanaian context

The book also tackles challenges specific to Ghana, including limited access to specialised care, social stigma, and a lack of educational support. Dr. Orgen advocates for community-based support systems and emphasises the importance of resilience and self-advocacy, while also providing strategies for managing overlapping conditions such as anxiety and depression.

Dr. Orgen hopes his book will advance a more inclusive understanding of ADHD in Ghana, promoting empathy and reducing stigma. He also plans workshops, online courses, and awareness campaigns to educate parents, teachers, and employers on supporting individuals with ADHD.

“ADHD is not a limitation but a different way of experiencing the world,” Dr. Orgen said. “With the right support and strategies, individuals with ADHD can harness their unique strengths and thrive.”
