Download or read book Overcoming Adhd written by Stanley I. Greenspan and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-01-07 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ''Can children and adults with ADD and ADHD overcome their difficulties without pills? The answer is absolutely Yes' for the vast majority.... Attention involves taking in sights and sounds and touch; it involves processing information; it involves planning and executing actions based on this information. If you can learn to do these things, as children we've treated have done, you can pretty well pay attention. It's not just about sitting still.'' Overcoming ADHD applies Dr. Stanley I. Greenspan's internationally admired developmental approach to this very common disorder. In his distinctive and original view, ADHD is not a single problem, but rather a set of common symptoms that arise from several different sensory, motor, and self-regulation problems. As in his research and in his practice, Dr. Greenspan emphasizes the role of emotions in the development of the nervous system, seeking the root of the condition and rebuilding the foundations of healthy development. Overcoming ADHD steers away from the pitfalls of labeling, or of simply stamping out symptoms with medication, and demonstrates how children can confidently learn to engage with others, attend to what they see and hear, and maintain their focus on the problems at hand. Dr. Greenspan's belief in the growth and individual potential of each child shines Jacket design by Georgia A. Feldman through this indispensable work.

Download or read book ADHD Does not Exist written by Richard Saul and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking and controversial book, behavioral neurologist Dr. Richard Saul draws on five decades of experience treating thousands of patients labeled with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder—one of the fastest growing and widely diagnosed conditions today—to argue that ADHD is actually a cluster of symptoms stemming from over 20 other conditions and disorders. According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 6.4 million children between the ages of four and seventeen have been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. While many skeptics believe that ADHD is a fabrication of drug companies and the medical establishment, the symptoms of attention-deficit and hyperactivity are all too real for millions of individuals who often cannot function without treatment. If ADHD does not exist, then what is causing these debilitating symptoms? Over the course of half a century, physician Richard Saul has worked with thousands of patients demonstrating symptoms of ADHD. Based on his experience, he offers a shocking conclusion: ADHD is not a condition on its own, but rather a symptom complex caused by over twenty separate conditions—from poor eyesight and giftedness to bipolar disorder and depression—each requiring its own specific treatment. Drawing on in-depth scientific research and real-life stories from his numerous patients, ADHD Does not Exist synthesizes Dr. Saul's findings, and offers and clear advice for everyone seeking answers.
