Features: Do you know people like this? They are irritable, hyperactive, emotionally unstable yet creative; they crash and burn in their studies or careers; if they could "be in the zone," they could do better; they are already at the peak of their lives but still feel driven and find life dull. This book tells you, these people may have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).
What is Attention Deficit Disorder? How is the behavior of people with ADD different from that of normal people? What impact does ADD have on the lives of those affected and their families? More importantly, how is ADD diagnosed and treated? This book provides clear answers to these questions.
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a neurological disorder. It is not a shameful illness but common as nearsightedness. The difference is that this nearsightedness is not in our eyes but in our minds. In fact, the hyperactive behavior of children was the initial description of this disease. Now we know that this condition is not limited to hyperactive behavior and does not only occur in children; adults can also have ADD. Its main symptoms include: susceptibility to external distractions, impulsivity, acting without thinking, lack of tolerance for frustration and monotonous life, and a preference for high-load, high-stimulation environments.
This book will guide you on how to cope with ADD from childhood to adulthood.
