Welcome to ADHD Self Management Center Online

A Welcome message from Dr. Jay Tarnow.

Your Single Source for ADHD Information and Resources

This website is a culmination of 60 years of personal struggle with ADHD and 30 years of professional research as a Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatrist. In my private practice, I have treated thousands of ADHD patients at the Tarnow Center for Self-Management™ located in Houston, Texas. I have also trained thousands of Pediatricians, Child Psychiatrists and General Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Counselors, and Teachers in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.

ADHD Self-Management™ Center Online is a way for me to share my knowledge and experience on a more global basis. Much of this information cannot be found anywhere else. So, I am sharing my pragmatic methodology, interventions, and resources that you can apply to your situation. I will update this information and add findings as more research becomes available.

My success in life has been based on the development of good Self-Management™ skills. The success of my children and all of the patients I have treated who have done well is also based on the development of these skills. However, there are new methods that can actually treat the biological basis of ADHD─with or without the use of medication. This website includes a discussion of all the interventions currently available for you and/or your child.
