Product Description
Product Description
Impulsivity, hyperactivity, inattention and distractability—words that ring a bell? For the estimated six million Americans suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder, such words interfere with daily life! For another 40 million people, such words alone make them think they have ADD.
A disorder that doesn't go away on its own, ADD turns untreated children into frustrated adults. And, adults who have children with ADD, probably have it as well. From the co-authors of Migraines: What Works! and Back Pain: What Works! (both Prima), comes Adult ADD—The Complete Handbook. Although ADD books have appeared on bestseller lists before, this is the first ADD book ever written by neurologists.
In simple and friendly terms, co-authors David Sudderth and Joseph Kandel offer help to those leading frustrating lives. They provide coping mechanisms, both psychological and an up-to-date guide to the latest technology that people with ADD will benefit from. In addition to providing a list of primary ADD symptoms and theoretic causes, the handbook also:
·Suggests where they should start and which doctor they should choose
·Explains which medicines (including Ritalin) are effective for ADD treatment
·Offers complimentary treatments, such as changing sleep habits and diet, counseling, and biofeedback
·Provides self-help strategies and coping mechanisms for daily problems

Format:Paperback
This is the first book I found which explains medically aboout ADD it also helped me to explain to non ADD people what it is about. And for my parents especially my mum because I could give her all the neuro biologial info in a way I could understand (She is in the medical profession so giving her a medical overview helped her understanding) But above all it gave the information in a sensible straightforward way without side tracking and going from the point which so many books do.

I enjoyed reading this book i bought it as i needed it for my presentation in college on Attention Deficit disorder last week,as it was a quick and easy info guide... enough to do a simple presentation in class.
Also it is a good read esp for those who suffer possible ADD symptons like myself who have a short attention span. Its not too academic either but a very interesting read for self help, information on ADD including diagnosis and treatments..and the controversey over the medication Ritalin used for ADD patients.
The book does not tell us though who people get ADD perhaps a bit more scientific research could have been done for that.

Although the publication date given is April 2010, the original text was published in 1996, and it shows - particularly in the section on assistive technology. While it is still a useful book, it may be worth looking at more up-to-date publications.
