ADD and Loving It! Adult ADHD Documentary Now Online

by Pete Quily on September 22, 2009

Update: ADD and Loving It! is still available online. Please let others know about it to reduce the stigma about Adult ADHD. If you think you may have Adult ADD,  see the 3 next steps at the bottom of this post

ADD and Loving It! is a Canadian Adult ADHD Documentary made for Global TV by Canadian Actor/Comedian Patrick McKenna (Traders, The Red Green Show) and Comedian/Director Rick Green is now available online until this Friday Sept 25th (still up) to watch. Heard this from Heidi Bernhardt, the National Director of the CADDAC, The Centre for ADHD Advocacy Canada  who was one of the people who helped to make the ADD & Loving It!  documentary happen. Here’s the team that made the video possible.

Show was very entertaining, informative & fast paced. Perfect for ADDers. I liked Thom Hartmann’s comments near the end “I think probably the most effective treatment for ADHD I’ve seen is coaching” As an Adult ADHD Coach, I agree:)

You can watch the video here until this Friday. After that it’s gone. Surprisingly it’s still up. Hopefully it will be available for purchase online later either from Global TV or the TotallyADD website. You might want to let them know if you’d be interested in buying it.

My last post described the ADD& Loving it, and if you read the comments section of that post, people who watched the film were very moved and impressed by it.

If you saw ADD and Loving It!, what did you think of it? Who else should see it and how can you let them know about it?

If you think you might have Adult Attention Deficit Disorder

1. Take the 5 minute Harvard/NYU/W.H.O. Adult ADHD screener test on my website.

2. Find a local ADHD support group near you to find a list of medical professionals who know enough about ADHD to diagnose it properly, sadly, many don’t.

3. The best way to treat ADHD is multiple methods, no one magic pill, you don’t “cure” it, you learn to manage it more effectively with things like Adult ADHD coaching, ADHD medications etc. See Top 10 Ways to Manage Adult ADHD

It was good to watch and difficult to watch. Almost had a few tears well up. It was so extremely well done! It struck chords throughout. And to hear that someone such as Tom Hartman has struggled with things I have, well it was just an unbelievable thought, a “wow” moment… I love what Patrick McKenna says about ADHD and his life with it, and the interplay between he and his wife is wonderful. It was very difficult to watch in some ways, because it just spells out the HARD parts of having ADHD in such a sharp, direct, undisguised manner. It made me feel. A lot.

Pete Quily 09.28.09 at

I was a great movie, he didn’t pull any punches and because Patrick and the director have ADHD they know how to reach people with ADHD. Hopefully it airs again and in other places

I woould like to order a DVD of the show ADD and Loving It.

Pete Quily 10.20.09 at
