The book that answers your questions about ADD — revised and updated
Being unfairly diagnosed for decades, children and adults with attention deficit hyperactive disorder are now recognized as having a common and treatable neurological condition.
Dr. Hallowell and Dr. Ratey answer questions most frequently asked at nationwide workshops and seminars. This resulting in an easy-to-read reference book that covers every aspect of the disorder: from identifying symptoms and diagnosis, to the latest treatment options, as well as practical day-to-day advice on how you or a loved one can live a normal life with ADD.
If you are a patient, parent, teacher, or health-care professional, Answers to Distraction will help those whose ADD and ADHD have caused persistent problems in school, at work, and in relationships.
Q&As include:
- What are the most important scientific findings about ADD in the last decade?
- How early can ADD be diagnosed?
- Where can a parent get support for dealing with a child who has ADD?
- What advances in the field of medication have taken place since the original version of this book was published?
- What alternative supplements can be used for treatment of ADHD
- Alternative therapies for ADD and ADHD
Answers To Distraction provides practical solutions to the dilemmas of ADD and ADHD. This “user’s guide” to ADD is presented in question-and-answer format ideal for even the most distracted reader.
Each chapter covers a specific aspect of ADD, such as ADD in women, ADD and aggression, ADD and addiction, or ADD and work.
The authors provide advice for teachers to recognize ADD and help students to cope, plus extraordinary insights into the relationship difficulties caused by ADD.
