This book is a summary of “Healing ADD: The Breakthrough Program that Allows You to See and Heal the 7 Types of ADD,” by Daniel G. Amen, MD. Attention deficit disorder (ADD), also known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is the most common learning and behavior problem in children. Children with ADD/ADHD may be hyperactive, unable to control their impulses and have trouble paying attention. These behaviors interfere with school and home life. ADD/ADHD is also one of the most common problems in adults and has been associated with job failures, relationship breakups, loneliness, low self-esteem, drug abuse, Alzheimer’s disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. The good news is that brain imaging research has uncovered the connections between the brain and behavior. Brain SPECT imaging allows doctors to see the areas of vulnerability in the ADD/ADHD brain and why it has such a negative impact on learning, behavior, and emotion. Research shows that there are 7 types of ADD/ADHD affecting different areas of the brain. Targeted treatment of these brain areas can improve brain function and give sufferers more access to their own abilities. This book gives you a new perspective on ADD/ADHD and gives you the tools to effectively manage and even thrive with ADD/ADHD.

Download or read book Summary Study Guide ADHD Nation written by Lee Tang and published by LMT Press. This book was released on 2017-04-06 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone who works with children should read this book. This book is a summary of “ADHD Nation: Children, Doctors, Big Pharma, and the Making of an American Epidemic,” by Alan Schwarz. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a biological disorder of the brain that can be treated with medications when appropriate. In the 1980s, only 3 percent of American children were diagnosed with ADHD. But now that number is 15 percent—three times what the experts have said is appropriate. Meanwhile, the prevalence of ADHD in other countries such as France, Finland, and Japan, has remained low at below 1 percent. This means that millions of American kids, some as young as three years old, are misdiagnosed and taking powerful stimulant medications like Adderall and Ritalin for a psychiatric condition they probably do not have. This book reveals the powerful forces fueling its widespread diagnosis and drug treatment through the experiences of three people. One is the father of ADHD and its medications, who now regrets its current misuse. The second is a 7-year-old girl who was misdiagnosed with ADHD. The third is a 14-year-old boy who faked symptoms to get the drug. Both kids spent ten years suffering the consequences of using the medication. Read this book if you are a parent, professional or individual who is dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Live boldly as a woman with ADHD! This radical guide will show you how to cultivate your individual strengths, honor your neurodiversity, and learn to communicate with confidence and clarity. If you are a woman with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you’ve probably known—all your life—that you’re different. As girls, we learn which behaviors, thinking, learning, and working styles are preferred, which are accepted and tolerated, and which are frowned upon. These preferences are communicated in innumerable ways—from media and books to our first-grade classroom to conversations with our classmates and parents. Over the course of a lifetime, women with ADHD learn through various channels that the way they think, work, speak, relate, and act does not match up with the preferred way of being in the world. In short, they learn that difference is bad. And, since these women know that they are different, they learn that they are bad. It’s time for a change. A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD is the first guided workbook for women with ADHD designed to break the cycle of negative self-talk and shame-based narratives that stem from the common and limiting belief that brain differences are character flaws. In this unique guide, you’ll find a groundbreaking approach that blends traditional ADHD treatment with contemporary treatment methods, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to help you untangle yourself from the beliefs that have kept you from reaching your potential in life. If you’re ready to develop a strong, bold, and confident sense of self, embrace your unique brain-based differences, and cultivate your individual strengths, this step-by-step workbook will help guide the way.

In Scattered Minds, he describes the painful realities of ADD and its effect on children as well as on career and social paths in adults.
