Dr. Dodson is a board-certified adult psychiatrist who was one of the first practitioners to specialize in adults with ADHD 25 years ago. He is the recipient of the national Maxwell J. Schleifer Award for Distinguished Service to Persons with Disabilities in 2006. He was named a Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association in 2012 in recognition of his contributions to the field of adult ADHD.
He is part of a group doing initial research programs to validate the concept of RSD and its treatments. They are recruiting people who are willing to give 20 minutes of their time to participate in the study to determine whether RSD is a distinct syndrome and whether it is invariably associated with ADHD. If you are 18 years of age or older and have been formally diagnosed by a professional and are interested in participating in the study, contact Dr. Dodson directly for the initial screening at billdodson19@gmail.com.
