Hallowell and Ratey answer the questions most frequently asked at their nationwide workshops and seminars, resulting in an easy-to-read reference that covers every aspect of the disorder: from identifying symptoms and diagnosis, to the latest treatment options, as well as practical day-to-day advice on how you or a loved one can live a normal life with AD. Whether you are a patient, parent, teacher, or health-care professional, Answers to Distraction will help those whose AD has caused persistent problems in school, at work, and in relationships. Q&As include: - What is the single most important scientific finding about AD in the last decade? - How early can AD be diagnosed? - Where can a parent get support for dealing with a child who has AD? - What advances in the field of medication have taken place since the original version of this book was published? - How can you help someone of any age who resists the diagnosis of AD get comfortable with it?
