Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A central source of frustration for most adults with ADHD is that they know what they need to do but they have difficulties turning their intentions into actions. These difficulties also interfere with their ability to use self-help books and to get the most out of psychosocial treatments that provide coping strategies that promise to improve their functioning. Drs. Ramsay and Rostain are experts in the assessment and treatment of adult ADHD and are leaders in the development of effective psychosocial treatments for this group of patients. Their newest book, The Adult ADHD Tool Kit: Using CBT to Facilitate Coping Inside and Out is a coping guide for adults living with ADHD, one that does not just present useful coping strategies but also provides specific tactics designed to help readers implement these skills in their daily lives and brings them to life in a user-friendly format. The authors discuss many different settings in which ADHD may cause difficulties, including work, school, matters of physical health and well-being, and the issue of excessive use of technology. Although written for consumers, clinicians will find the book to be a clinically useful tool for their adult patients with ADHD, serving as a companion to the newly updated and expanded second edition of Drs. Ramsay and Rostain’s professional treatment manual, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Adult ADHD: An Integrative Psychosocial and Medical Approach.

In addition to providing an outline of their treatment approach, Drs.

Download or read book ADHD written by Leanne Maskell and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-01-08 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you: feel like your brain has 381 tabs open at any one time? want to do everything but can't seem to do anything, leaving a trail of unfinished projects in your wake? lose your keys/wallet/phone/glasses? Several times a day? Every. Single. Day? have no 'brakes' on your super-duper-fast brain, finding out your thoughts at the same time as other people? forget people's names as soon as they say them? Appointments? Birthdays? What you walked into the kitchen for? How you arrived on this page? live in extremes: either you're all in, or you're all out? In love with your hobby of the month, or never do it again? Experience time as 'now' or 'not now'? Sleep non-stop or not at all? have approximately 371894619870 thoughts at any time? feel like you're desperately trying to stay afloat in an ocean where everyone else is swimming the other way to you? If any of that resonates, then this book might be for you.* The waiting lists for ADHD diagnosis in the UK can be up to 7 years , which is a long time to have 2 or more 'important areas' of your life 'significantly impacted' by the symptoms (as required for diagnosis). This book shows you how to stop blaming yourself for your brain, and how to become friends with it instead. The chapters show how to manage ADHD from A to Z in your daily life with practical exercises covering relationships, work, self-esteem, finances, organisation - and so much more. It gives you the power to choose which way you want to swim in that ocean, something that most people cannot do. Your differences are what make you strong, powerful and free from the constraints of 'normality'. Embrace them. *These symptoms are not 'officially' recognised ADHD symptoms, and this book is not written by a qualified medical expert, who you should speak to about any potential diagnosis. However, it is written by a person with ADHD, and so provides an imperfectly perfect insight into living with it - and at above all, hopefully makes you feel a little bit less alone in this world.
