Question : What kind of doctor or therapist treats adults with ADHD and related disorders and how do you find a good one? My son has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia and is 42 years old. He is doing much better these past two years & has an opportunity to get a part time job in maintenance but is troubled that he will fail because of his learning discorders. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Many thanks, XXXXXXX in California
