Dr. William (Bill) Dodson, M.D., LF-APA, is a board-certified adult psychiatrist and has spent his career helping patients achieve the best possible outcomes from ADHD treatment. Dr. Dodson has been instrumental in advancing the field’s understanding of ADHD medication optimization, ADHD-related sleep disorders, and the emotional component of ADHD, most notably through his recognition of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (“RSD”) as a core feature. His work with patients with highly complex psychiatric needs has earned him international acclaim. He has written more than 120 articles and produced 17 webinars for ADDitude and the Attention Deficit Disorder Association. He serves on ADDitude’s Medical Advisory Panel.

Printable Resources for Clinicians

This section of the website contains 2 types of immediately usable clinical information:

·       The first files are the educational materials and dosing instructions needed for good medical practice with ADHD. It should always be remembered that at the beginning all of our patients will have untreated ADHD. They will all struggle to stay engaged with what we are saying and the instructions for optimizing the medication part of treatment. This can be complicated and even more difficult if the patient cannot remember what to do no matter how hard they try. Not having written instructions for what they need to do for their part is the leading cause of medication failure.

These sections have intake materials for both children (from CADDRA) and for adults (that were developed from my own clinical practice and experience.) They make the initial phases of treatment much easier and more efficient.

·       The second group of files are the primary sources for the book on The Recognition and Treatment of ADHD. If a source of information cited in the book is not copyrighted, it should be in this area so that busy clinicians do not have to spend their valuable time searching for the original sources of what they read. All of these articles have been screened to be sure that the research was well done, impartial, and usable in daily practice.
