Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of four national book awards! Revised First Edition, 2022 Is It You, Me, or Adult ADHD? has helped thousands of readers worldwide to understand how this highly variable syndrome affects them. Professionals and couples who have elevated their lives with its wisdom recommend it to others. In this highly endorsed, clearly written, and comprehensive guide, Gina Pera guides you in making sense of your own Adult ADHD Roller Coaster. She helps you to: —View ADHD as a variable syndrome affecting individuals, not clones —Realize how a later-in-life ADHD diagnosis creates additional issues —Revise misinterpretations of symptoms, forged long ago, that can thwart progress now —Heal poor coping responses and dysfunctional interaction cycles, as individuals and couples —Implement practical supports to completing routine tasks and reaching long-term goals, with teamwork! —Appreciate how poorly managed ADHD can also negatively affect the spouses and other loved ones. —Delve into "denial's" dual nature — physiological and psychological — and reach through it —Adopt proven approaches that remain extremely rare in clinical settings The science has been clear since 1994, when Adult ADHD was declared a medical diagnosis. Still, the public harbors misconceptions, and that means millions suffer needlessly. That includes millions of couples who can't understand why their lives together are so hard—often despite many attempts at therapy. The simple truth is: Everyone knows someone with adult ADHD. Yet we often misattribute the symptoms to anxiety, depression, or even laziness, selfishness, “addictive personality,” or moodiness. Some assume that ADHD means "little boys with ants in their pants." In fact, childhood hyperactivity goes "underground" as the person matures, resulting in a mentally restless state. Meticulously researched and written by Gina Pera, Is It You, Me, or Adult ADHD? helps you recognizing the behaviors where you least expect them and developing compassion for everyone wrestling with unrecognized ADHD symptoms. It also offers: —Explanations from preeminent experts —Plenty of real-life details —Easy-to-understand, detailed advice on the best treatment options and practical solutions. The revolutionary message is one of hope for millions of people—and a joyous opportunity for a better life.

Book excerpt: Adult ADHD: Diagnostic Assessment and Treatment, Third Edition covers not only diagnostic assessment, but also comorbidity patterns as well as differential diagnosis of ADHD with for example bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. The symptom overlap and misdiagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome in girls and women with the inattentive subtype of ADHD, ADD is explored. The chronic delayed sleep phase syndrome associated with ADHD based on disturbances in the circadian rhythm, and the possible consequences for general health (obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer) are discussed. There are sections on ADHD and intelligence, criminality, sexuality, dyslexia and autism. Adult ADHD can be treated effectively but as yet the disorder is not always recognised by professionals and this book aims to help correct this. Diagnostic tools are included, such as the structured Diagnostic Interview for Adult ADHD (DIVA), and an ultra-short and somewhat longer screening tool, all based on the DSM-IV criteria for ADHD. Treatment options cover psychoeducation and motivation and individual and group coaching; long-acting stimulants and other new drugs for treating ADHD; use of melatonin to treat the delayed sleep-phase disorder. Useful information is included on the setting up and organisation of a department for adult ADHD with a multidisciplinary team. References, websites and useful international addresses have all been updated. Adult ADHD: Diagnostic Assessment and Treatment, Third Edition is intended for students, junior doctors/residents, psychologists, psychiatrists, other mental healthcare professionals and interested parties and provides a quick overview of the current state of the science and of the methods used in diagnosis and treatment. Adult ADHD: Diagnostic Assessment and Treatment, Third Edition was originally published by Pearson Assessment and Information BV, The Netherlands.

Book excerpt: My name is George Sachs. I'm a clinical psychologist and expert in Adult ADD. I also have Adult ADD so much of what I teach comes from my own personal experience. I have experimented with many methods on the market with much trial and error. Lots of errors I was never satisfied with the books I read on Adult ADD - as the advice was hard to follow and was clearly not created by someone with ADD. The tools, tips and techniques I developed for this 30 Day Online learning program have been field tested by me, and my clients. With great success. Why did I call it the 30 Day Solution? Of course you can't cure Adult ADD, and certainly not in thirty days. But in thirty days you will receive a roadmap to change. This program is just the beginning of a lifetime of learning about your unique symptoms. In thirty days you will learn what critical areas of your life need more attention. Many of my clients have tried medication, hoping for a miracle to cure their worst symptoms. The truth is medication can be effective for some, but most of my clients stop taking it because of the the side effects-and then where are they? No better off than when they first started. That is why I coach them that they need to learn tools and new techniques to better manage their life with Adult ADD. That is what this program does - offers 30 Days of holistic actionable advice that can be implemented immediately. With no negative side effects I believe in a holistic approach that starts with sleep, diet and exercise and includes emotional, relational and spiritual practices to truly overcome Adult ADD. This book deals with more than just tips to become more organized. We examine the impact of a life of untreated Adult ADD, and how that effects self-esteem, relationships and overall success. The key word is "overall." That is our holistic approach, because Adult ADD impacts all areas of one's life. How many times have you bought a paper date planner? hoping that this time you would actually use it I know that the normal advice many so-called experts give to adults with ADD just dont' work. Maybe because those experts don't have Adult ADD. Well I Do. So I know that the typical methods for organization and productivity don't always work for us adults with ADD. That is why I offer "work-arounds." These are field-tested tools, tips and techniques that work for adults with ADD and take into account the unique way that we approach life. I hope that you find the concepts I teach equally helpful and easy to understand. Adult ADD is challenging for oneself and loved ones, but with support and this program, you can overcome some of your worst symptoms and become the person you always knew you could be.

Book excerpt: A thorough examination of a misunderstood condition Though it's traditionally thought of as a childhood disorder, a growing body of research is bringing awareness to the fact that ADHD often contin­ues into adulthood, though its symptoms often take on a different form and make the disorder more difficult to diagnose. • Covers what ADHD looks like in adults, how symptoms can vary greatly from one person to the next, and how it often gets misdiagnosed • Includes information on related conditions that often coexist with adult ADHD, including depression and anxiety • Discusses various treatment options-pharmaceutical, behavioral, lifestyle, and alternative approaches
