Covers all of the bases,
By A Customer
This review is from: Out of the Fog: Treatment Options and Coping Strategies for Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (Paperback)
I bought this book because I had heard a little about ADD and thought I may fit the description. This book confirmed my suspicion, and I was later diagnosed by my doctor. The reason this book stands out from the others is because it is so complete, yet easy to read. It takes you through symptoms of ADD, choosing a doctor, accepting a diagnosis, medications, counseling, and teaches various life management skills. It armed me with plenty of information (which I found helpful when communicating with friends and family about my ADD) and gave me a real sense of hope for the future. Highly recommended!

This review is from: Out of the Fog: Treatment Options and Coping Strategies for Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (Paperback)
Great content! Pulled together information from a large variety of sources, a lot I'd forgotten or overlooked, and then added lots of little "bombshells." Constant light bulbs going off. Connections! Answers! Wow! However, wonder if research substantiates statements such as "a lifelong pattern of self-medication with drugs/alcohol to concentrate better and to feel more comfortable w/peers..." Or are these authors'opinions based on treating ADDers?Two complaints from an ADD person:1. Hey, I can't sort & track people at my office. Why would authors think that having 1/2 dozen personal story threads woven through the text be a good delivery mode? Better to put that information into a side bar so ADDers can easily go back and see who the heck is "Rich." 2. Wispy typeface & a layout with little white space proved difficult to read. And light subheadings buried midpage in the text mitigated their usefulness...ugh! Number of pages an issue? Hey, remember your audience! Nevertheless, have raved about the book to others and passed it on to a sister.

Treanchant, readable, practical!,

This review is from: Out of the Fog: Treatment Options and Coping Strategies for Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (Paperback)
What?! No review yet for this readable, practical, detailed book?This book goes "Bang, bang, bang." No nonsense, nor lengthy stories, nor self-pity. Just good writing, covering the topic fairly widely and deeply; but foremost PRACTICAL: try this, remember that, structure the following, implement such a system... Useful, reliable, well-built, pleasant to look at, and economical. This hummer is a Toyota Corolla. Take it for a test drive.
