Synopsis
Attention deficit disorder (ADD) is a national health crisis that continues to grow - yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and incorrectly treated illness today. Now using breakthrough diagnostic techniques, Daniel Amen has discovered that there are six distinct types of ADD, each requiring a different treatment. With recommendations for prescription drugs, nutraceutical therapy, cognitive programming, parenting and education strategies, biofeedback, self-hypnosis, and more, Daniel Amen's revolutionary approach provides a treatment program that can lead sufferers of ADD to a normal, peaceful and fully functional life. Sufferers from ADD often say 'The harder I try, the worse it gets' This book tells them, for the first time, how to get well.

Customer Reviews

An eye-opening insight into the workings of your brain
This book uses pictures of SPECT brain scans and case studies to walk you through six different types of attention deficit disorder - the presented symptoms, the scan images, diagnosis and treatment. Clearly written and easily understood, the information is well presented. Dr. Amen's book probably should not be used as a self diagnosis tool, but will give you a good working understanding of what's going on in your head, and what can be done about it - sometimes as simple as just changing your diet.

If you often think "The harder I try to concentrate, the worse it gets" then you MUST read this book and do something about it.

This book has truly changed my life and the way I think about myself - I hope that it can change yours for the better too.
