Book excerpt: This is not just another book on ADHD. This book tells the side of the story most of us are otherwise unlikely to hear. ADHD has become a clinical phenomenon, a modern-day epidemic of incredible proportions, unlike any we have seen before. It has swept over us like a tidal wave. "The Other Side of ADHD" brings into sharp focus some of the controversial aspects of ADHD that help maintain its status as the most hotly debated subject in children's mental health. The book draws together the many issues that ADHD raises, clinically, socially, philosophically, ethically and politically. The result is a challenge that goes far beyond this diagnostic label, and reaches into just about every aspect of our lives. Everyone who cares about social issues will want to read this book. This passionate and illuminating work is a clarion call for clinical and educational psychologists and other health and social care professionals including counsellors and therapists. It is a life-line to parents with hyperactive children, and teachers, youth and social workers will also find it invaluable. "ADHD has become a clinical phenomenon, a modern-day epidemic of incredible proportions, unlike any we have seen before. It has swept over us like a tidal wave. I have found myself in a position where I have been at odds with the prevailing view about these children's problems. As the situation has unfolded, it has seemed to me that the subject of ADHD touches on other important issues, some of which are pivotal to our thinking about mental health. It seemed to me that there was a need to pull together the different strands of the debate so that parents and clinicians could build up more of a complete picture and make their own informed decisions." - Angela Southall, in the Introduction.

Book excerpt: ADHD Decoded: A Comprehensive Guide to Unlocking Potential "ADHD Decoded" provides an in-depth, holistic approach to understanding ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) beyond its clinical definition, emphasizing the potential and strengths often overlooked. The book is structured to guide readers from an introduction to ADHD's complexities, through its neurological and emotional aspects, and finally, to practical strategies for thriving with ADHD. The Introduction outlines what ADHD is, the different types (Inattentive, Hyperactive-Impulsive, Combined), and the common misunderstandings surrounding the disorder. The author emphasizes the importance of decoding ADHD not just as a disorder but as a unique way of thinking and behaving that can unlock untapped potential. In Part 1: Origins and Understanding of ADHD, the developmental and psychological aspects of ADHD are discussed. Topics include the influence of early childhood environment, stress, trauma, and parenting styles on ADHD development, as well as the role of genetics and societal factors. Emotional and psychological patterns, including the link between ADHD, anxiety, depression, and emotional wounds, are examined in detail. Part 2: The ADHD Brain delves into the neurobiology of ADHD, explaining how the ADHD brain works and why it presents challenges in attention, focus, and impulse control. The book explores brain development, differences in the prefrontal cortex, and how gender affects the presentation of ADHD, particularly why girls are often underdiagnosed. This section also covers how ADHD symptoms change over time, especially during adolescence. Part 3: Living with ADHD offers practical insights into navigating life with ADHD, focusing on relationships, academic challenges, and emotional health. Readers will find strategies for managing ADHD in personal relationships and professional environments, as well as tips for improving academic performance through time management and organization. Emotional regulation techniques, such as mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), are discussed, alongside strategies to build self-esteem and resilience. Part 4: Healing and Treatment Approaches presents a balanced view of treatment options, from medication to alternative therapies. The author emphasizes that while medication can be beneficial, it is not a cure-all, and psychological therapies like CBT play a crucial role in managing ADHD. Mindfulness practices, lifestyle changes, and environmental adjustments are highlighted as key components of a holistic treatment plan. Topics like physical activity, nutrition, and emerging treatments, such as neurofeedback, are explored in-depth. Finally, Part 5: Unlocking the Potential of ADHD reframes ADHD as a strength rather than a limitation. It showcases how individuals with ADHD can harness their creativity, energy, and problem-solving skills to excel in both personal and professional settings. The book offers examples of successful people with ADHD and provides readers with tools to unlock their own potential, manage life transitions, and embrace the strengths that come with ADHD.

Download or read book The Discourse of ADHD written by Mary Horton-Salway and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the discourse of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), one of the most debated mental health categories attributed to children and adults across the globe. The authors trace the origins, development and representation of ADHD to demonstrate how the category is produced through competing explanatory theories and processes of scientific, professional and lay discourse. Starting with the idea that medical categories are as much a product of cultural meaning, social processes and models of medicine as they are of scientific fact, this book utilises a range of perspectives from within critical discursive psychology to approach this topic. The authors discuss historical construction, media representation, parents’ accounts of family life, and the personal experience of children and adults to demonstrate how the construction of social identity and cultural stereotypes are embedded in the meaning of ADHD. They explore the origins of ADHD and how biological and psychosocial explanations of the mental health category have been produced, circulated, debated and resisted within a culture of ‘Othering’, and the discourse of blame.

Download or read book Dyslexia Decoded written by Bina Nangia and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If I can’t learn the way you teach, please teach me the way I can learn It is only when you read about real-life stories you want to believe that strategies work. The method suggested in Dyslexia Decoded have been tried and tested for more than two decades with different levels of difficulties, different students and a variety of situations. Processing information and using proper sound system results in learning differently, while styles of learning when incorporated in teaching, makes mild learning difficulties disappear. Emotional, social impacts of learning difficulties cannot be ignored as they cause greater harm than the difficulty itself. This book shows you just that and emphasizes the need to counsel students, teachers, parents and schools. Schools form a major part of children’s lives and when they take on the task of supporting the 10% of their population with specific learning difficulties they go beyond their own limitations and contribute a great deal to the lives of all children. A special school system is detrimental for children with specific learning difficulties even though it may seem to be the answer for other special needs. This book encourages schools to include students with specific learning difficulties, while guiding them to use the support which the Boards willingly give.

Download or read book Journeys Through ADDulthood written by Sari Solden and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sari Solden specializes in working with ADD adults and their partners. Her first book, Women with Attention Deficit Disorder, has sold more than 100,000 copies worldwide. Now, in Journeys Through ADDulthood, she takes a groundbreaking look at the emotional turmoil often precipitated by ADD and offers readers roadmaps to richer, happier lives. Living with ADD affects the development of one's view of self, especially for those not diagnosed until adulthood, after an entire childhood of feeling "different" without knowing why. There are no quick fixes-Solden takes a longer view of the challenges and sees living with ADD as an ongoing internal process. Journeys Through ADDulthood is a step-by-step guide through three stages, or journeys: toward understanding your brain and your primary symptoms; toward discovering your true identity and embracing your uniqueness; and toward learning to share your true self to connect with others. Illuminating her points based on the real-life journeys of two men and two women, Solden offers self-help exercises at the end of each chapter to point the way around common roadblocks on the road to empowerment, self-fulfillment, and the realization of long-buried dreams and goals.

Download or read book Decoding Doing written by Jonathan Hassall and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-27 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an explanation of procrastination in the context of ADHD. Procrastination happens when we know we should do something for our benefit but actively avoid or delay doing it. At that moment, the focus is on not doing something rather than figuring out what is getting in the way. It can result in failed studies, lost jobs, broken relationships, missed opportunities, and a belief in inevitable failure.By creating a model for what happens when we act to support our intentions, we are able to decode and address procrastination-and, even better, to understand how to avoid it. We call this model the CIMAA Code. CIMAA is an acronym for the five stages of task achievement in our model: connect, imagine, motivate, act, and achieve. This book examines procrastination and ADHD and how they are linked. We then review executive function to better understand ADHD. Organization as a tool of support is presented as we look to manage deficits in executive functioning. We present the CIMAA Code stage by stage, to model successful task achievement from commitment through to completion. Some examples are given of this model in action, and a workbook is included to support the use of the CIMAA Code with day-to-day tasks. Finally, we look more broadly at how these skills can be applied across your life, beyond individual tasks and achievement.
