This is the only book on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
written in a structure that caters to the tendency for adults with ADHD
to jump around. This essential guidebook begins by describing how the
ADHD brain processes information and how that leads to typical
challenges that people with ADHD experience, as well as why certain
strategies are effective and others aren't. This lays the foundation for
everything that follows, from getting diagnosed to an overview of the
research of how ADHD affects people's lives. A thorough explanation of
standard treatment options-including medication, therapy, and
coaching-as well as alternative treatments, helps guide adults with ADHD
to get the most from their healthcare providers. From there, the book
provides an extensive collection of practical strategies to overcome
common struggles in the areas of self-esteem, work, relationships,
friendships, parenting, and everyday life. It covers everything from
time management to getting organized. Brief, ADHD-friendly articles can
stand alone or be read in sequence, making it the perfect book for the
busy adult with ADHD who wants rock-solid information that is easily
digestible.
