Melissa Orlov, author of The ADHD Effect on Marriage: Understand and Rebuild Your Relationship in Six Steps
Too often, couples who are unaware of the impact of ADHD in their relationship pick exactly the wrong approaches to solving their marital problems - approaches that would make sense for most couples, but not when one or both partners has ADHD.
The ADHD Effect on Marriage helps couples understand why things never seem to get better, no matter how hard they try - and how to change that, not by "trying harder," but by "trying differently" so they can renew their love and joy.
Melissa Orlov is a marriage consultant and one of the top experts in how ADHD affects relationships. She has been writing and speaking about the topic since 2007, researching it since 2005. She has worked with Dr. Hallowell since 2004, writing ADHD articles and newsletters, and assisting with educational programs delivered by Dr. Hallowell and Dr. John Ratey. She currently writes the Your Marriage column for ADDitude Magazine and consults with couples who wish to improve their ADHD-impacted relationships.
Ms. Orlov has real-life experience with the pain, confusion and exhaustion associated with tackling the issues surrounding ADHD in relationships. In fact, it was her experiences changing her own marriage from miserable to marvelous - and the realization that there is very little good information available to help couples affected by ADHD thrive in their relationships - that was the inspiration for becoming engrossed in this topic.
Before changing careers in order to pursue her passion for helping couples live better with ADHD, Melissa was a marketing, communications and research professional. A graduate of Harvard College cum laude, and Phillips Exeter Academy, her hobbies include road biking, singing and being an enthusiastic supporter of whatever sport or pastime her children decide to pursue. Ms. Orlov and her husband of 20+ years live outside Boston.
"The ADHD Effect is a brilliant compilation of what you can do if you are in a marriage where one or both of you have ADHD. It is a life-saver of a book that can change lives for the better, and dramatically so. I daresay Melissa Orlov is one of the foremost authorities on ADHD and relationships in the world today."
