Attention Deficit Disorder
(ADD) is one of the least understood medical afflictions. With no specific
test available, misdiagnosis is common and the results can be devastating
for both the parents and the child. Because no one can agree on a single
definition for the disorder, confusion is rampant and treatment is only
mildly successful at best. Attention Deficit Disorder Misdiagnosis
addresses these problems in a systematic and logical fashion. It presents
a battery of tests for properly diagnosing ADD, stresses its relationship
to brain behavior and proposes practical treatment solutions. Written by
an expert in the field who also happens to be the mother of a child
diagnosed with ADD, it presents a unique perspective on this complex yet
all too pervasive disorder. This is an essential text for doctors, parents
and any individual working with an ADD child or adult. It will also help
professionals in related disciplines approach ADD as a biochemical medical
disorder and understand the reasons for its inherent complexity and
frequent misdiagnosis. |
