Description

Why Am I Distracted. How to recognize attention deficit syndrome in adults and children—and what to do about it.

Edward Hallowell, a globally recognized expert on attention deficit syndrome, and John Ratey, a practicing psychiatrist, carefully revised and supplemented their bestselling book with up-to-date medical information. Through vivid stories and examples from their patients (both children and adults), they explore different forms of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)—from actual hyperactivity to daydreaming.

The experts dispel typical myths about ADHD, offer useful tools, and describe all available treatment options. They also provide advice on how to deal with a child, partner, or another family member who has received such a diagnosis.

There is no “bad” without “good.” Most important, the authors talk about the advantages that go hand in hand with this “disorder,” including energy and high intuition, creativity, and enthusiasm.

Who this book is for
