Answers to Distraction by Ned Hallowell
The book that answers your questions about AD--now revised and updated The bestseeling authors of Driven to Distraction respond to the most frequently asked questions about Attention Deficit Disorder. After decades of being unfairly diagnosed, children and adults with attention deficit disorder are now recognized as having a common and treatable neurological condition. Drs. Hallowell and Ratey answer the questions most frequently asked at their nationwide workshops and seminars, resulting in an easy-to-read reference 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 AD. Whether you are a patient, parent, teacher, or health-care professional, Answers to Distraction will help those whose AD has caused persistent problems in school, at work, and in relationships. Q&As include: - What is the single most important scientific finding about AD in the last decade?- How early can AD be diagnosed?
- Where can a parent get support for dealing with a child who has AD?
- What advances in the field of medication have taken place since the original version of this book was published?
- How can you help someone of any age who resists the diagnosis of AD get comfortable with it?
