ADD & ADHD for Dummies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Excellent resource, easy to read and understand. I highly recommend this book as a grandparent of a child with ADD and as a health professional!
Surprisingly thorough and good read

I was reluctant to pick up a book with "for Dummies" in the title because I do not believe that I am a dummy! However, a lot of the books on ADHD that I found either focused too much on ADHD in childhood or had too many long anecdotes/ case studies. This book was an excellent introduction to ADHD. It took the disorder seriously and laid out every aspect on diagnosis, treatment, familial issues, etc. in a simple manner. The information provided was eye-opening, and the book was full of details that showed the depth of this disorder. This book never gave the impression that ADHD is just a collection of undesirable behaviors or laziness or what have you. It's a terrific reference book.
