Healing ADD: The Breakthrough Program That Allows You to See and Heal the 6 Types of ADD description
Hard, visual data make a compelling case for the existence of attention deficit disorder (ADD) in this pioneering work by Daniel G. Amen, M.D. Using a nuclear medicine technique called "single photon emission computed tomography" (SPECT)--a controversial step, according to some of his peers--Dr. Amen scans patients' brains to identify various abnormalities. From more than 8,000 such studies and more than 12,000 patient evaluations, Dr. Amen concludes that six--not the formerly presumed two--different types of ADD exist. This book encompasses the full spectrum of Dr. Amen's work: from symptom identification to clinical evaluation, to diet and medication recommendations, to everyday strategies for living with ADD (whether the reader is a parent of an ADD child, or has been diagnosed with the disease.) No stranger to the skepticism surrounding this topic, Dr. Amen begins with a list of dead-on myths (including "ADD is overdiagnosed") and surprising facts ("Many people with ADD are never hyperactive"). From this intriguing beginning flows a highly readable chapter on the signs and manifestations of ADD in all ages. Dr. Amen's full description of SPECT imaging includes multiple brain scan photos that nicely support his theories. But the most satisfying element of this well-researched presentation occurs in the final half of the book; here, Amen thoroughly explores the biological (diet, exercise, medication), psychological (from personal coaching to psychotherapy), and social support (parenting and school strategies) needed to heal each type of ADD. This book will prove a valuable tool for parents, adult sufferers, and medical professionals seeking practical support for managing this increasingly recognized condition. --Liane Thomas |

With Understanding, There Can Be Hope, Even with ADHD
|
Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, ADHD, runs in my family somewhat. In my wife's family is can be a run away train. In this book, Dr. Amen tells of how he got into the practice of working with ADHD patients, and he shares his insights into this condition, and often times disability. Most authors of ADHD books describe it as one condition, or perhaps two types of conditions, Dr. Amen, on the other hand breaks it down into six different types of disorders and how they affect the patient and those around the patient.
I could go on-and-on about this book, and you might gander some insight into what I gained from it, on both a personal level, and also on a level of working with others, but then, again, you may not. However, when that day came when a loved one came to me and finally said, "they wanted help" in dealing with their condition, Dr. Amen's book gave me the knowledge so that I could be empathetic and helpful. For that I am eternally grateful I had read this book. |
