Full Description
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological disorder that affects millions of people of all ages worldwide and has effects that ripple through society. Navigating Life with ADHD is a guidebook to help adults with ADHD, parents of children with ADHD, and their caregivers and loved ones thrive.
The understanding of ADHD has been evolving: Once seen as a problem of "bad kids with bad parents," today people of all ages and from all walks of life are diagnosed with ADHD. With effective treatment, people with ADHD can have amazing career trajectories and make highly original and valuable contributions to society. But what does it mean to have ADHD? The recognition of ADHD has been increasing steadily, and the American Academy of Neurology is proud to shed light on this topic and bring greater understanding to all involved.
Readers will learn about the effects of ADHD on the lives of children and adults with the disorder and how to navigate these effects with loved ones and caregivers. The authors discuss how best to manage the many challenges associated with ADHD holistically: not simply focusing on ADHD but also its relationship to anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and other commonly co-occurring conditions. Medication and non-medication treatments are covered in an easy-to-understand way. With the liberal use of patient vignettes throughout, readers will relate and feel comfortable understanding what ADHD is -- and isn't-- and how to maximise success for the ADHDer in their life or for themselves if they themselves have ADHD.
