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.

Book excerpt: This book consists of two titles, which are the following: Book 1: ADHD is a condition in the brain many people are somewhat familiar with. However, when it comes to the specifics, the majority of us are still left in the dark. The main essence of ADHD is missing when people just think that you’re hyperactive and unfocused. There is way more to it. And not only is so much more to say about the causes of ADHD, but about the consequences as well. For example, people with ADHD are more prone to addictions or suicide. There is medication for ADHD, but there are also other methods that can help contain the symptoms of the disorder. Moreover, people with ADHD can have specific strengths, too, that other people are lacking. For all these reasons and more, the author of this book has decided to address some of these issues and give you a better grasp of what ADHD is, where it comes from, and what it means in someone’s everyday life. Book 2: There are many misconceptions about ADHD. We are here to sort them out. In this book, various topics will be included, like: Children with ADHD versus grownups with ADHD. Diagnosis analysis and thoughts about the dangers or benefits. Social hardships children with ADHD face. The question of whether or not ADHD can disappear in a person as he/she grows older. Non-medical treatments to fight the symptoms. Thoughts about mothers with ADHD in particular. Thoughts on the effects of more or less sex on people with ADHD. And many other subtopics. Don’t wait and get started now. You will most likely learn new things in this book that you have never heard before.
