The book that answers your questions about ADD—now revised and updated
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 ADD.
Whether you are a patient, parent, teacher, or health-care professional, Answers to Distraction will help those whose ADD has caused persistent problems in school, at work, and in relationships.
Q&As include:
What is the single most important scientific finding 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?
