ADHD Explained: What It Is and What to Do About It
Diagnoses of ADHD, a neurodevelopmental condition common in children (and often undiagnosed in adults), are on the rise, driven in part by the public's greater awareness of ADHD and better social acceptance of neurodiversity, even as some worry the increase may be linked to overdiagnosis. Your Guide to ADHD explores the key signs to consider—focus, hyperactivity, and impulsivity—when seeking an ADHD evaluation. It draws on the latest studies as well as interviews with researchers and medical experts to understand how these ADHD traits might impact your life or your child's life; effective ways of managing the traits, including lifestyle changes, medication, and therapy; and the differences between ADHD and mental health conditions such as anxiety and bipolar disorder. Your Guide to ADHD provides valuable insight into how stimulant and non-stimulant medications work, the role of diet and supplements, and how to find the right ADHD therapist or coach. For anyone who has a child with ADHD or has ADHD themselves, Your Guide to ADHD is an important and timely resource.
