5.0 out of 5 stars Most Up-to-Date & Comprehensive ADHD Fact Finding Tool, November 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity & Learning Disorders Questions & Answers (Paperback)

In short, this is the one and only text you need. Since 1995, when my eldest son was diagnosed with ADHD, I have spent a great deal of money and time ordering and reading almost every text published on this disorder. As a single mother, and now an authority on finding the right source of information on this subject, my experience to share is that you will not find a more complete and ACURATE text on ADHD and Learning Disorders, anywhere. Questions & Answers provides more scientifically backed facts on every aspect of ADHD and related Learning Disorders than all of the other books on my shelf combined - and that's saying alot!

I have been searching for clear and reliable information related to causes, methods of diagnosis, medications, diet, alternative therapies and, generally, the most up-to-date medical opinion's on this disorder. Having bought just about every text on the market without feeling I was getting the best authority on the subject, a friend recommended Dr. Millichap's book. Since discovering it was such a relief to me, I have felt obliged to pass on the recommendation to everybody and anybody who has gone through the same frustrating search for a scientific, yet easy to understand, treasury of helpful facts that this text embodies.

Use this text, and feel properly informed - as for the rest, good luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ever been asked for your sources?, March 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity & Learning Disorders Questions & Answers (Paperback)

I found this book through a teacher's memo. Recently, some of my students were diagnosed with ADHD. This was by far the best source for addressing the concerns of parents, students, and other educators. ALL of the points are completely referenced, making it invaluable in answering the 'who says?' questions. If you're supposed to know, this is your ADHD bible.
