5.0 out of 5 stars Windows into the ADD Mind: Understanding and treating ADD, March 10, 2000

This review is from: Windows into the A.D.D. Mind: Understanding and Treating Attention Deficit Disorders in the Everyday Lives of Children, Adolescents and Adults (Paperback)

This should be a must read for every parent of an Adder or an Adult Adder. Dr. Amen has treated thousands of patients, but what assisted me tremendously is that he is both a father of two ADD children and a husband to an ADD adult. He has walked it so he can truly talk about it. I have two ADHD children and I am ADD. We got on the right track from reading this book shortly after being diagnosed. He covers the MANY angles of how ADD effects ones life and how to deal with it. The most technical part, understanding the frontal lobe where the disorder originates, is written in laymen terms. There is even a quiz that can be taken that will help direct you to where you may need to go next in receiving the help you need. AMEN to Dr. Amen

Excellent book for parents who have a child with ADD. It reads like a textbook, which it is, but full of wonderful information and help.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous book for those seeing if they have ADD, January 22, 1998

I've been sharing this book with friends of mine who also have ADD. How do I know they have it? I run them through the surveys.

Why didn't I give it a 10? It is full of typographical errors. Other than that, very useful!
