Synopsis

There is much literature about children with Attention Deficit Disorder. This work focuses on the experience of adults with the disorder, combining practical information and moral support. It explains the diagnostic process and distinguishes ADD symptions from normal lapses in memory, lack of concentrations, and impulse behaviour, and addresses: how to achieve balance by analyzing one's strengths and weaknesses; how to get along in groups, at work, and intimate and family relationships - including how to decrease discord and chaos; mechanical aides and methods for getting organized and improving memory; and professional help, including medication and therapy.

Présentation de l'éditeur

YOU MEAN I'M NOT LAZY, STUPID, OR CRAZY?! is one of the bestselling titles on ADD ever written. The first book about adult ADD, and the first one written by adults with ADD, it explores the latest science, diagnostic process, and treatment options and provides both moral support and practical tips for reducing chaos and disorganization, improving memory, and forging better relationships at home and work.
This updated edition includes almost twenty-five percent new material covering important developments in adult ADD research - from ADD's effects on sexuality to the different ways in which ADD affects men and women. Ramundo and Kelly also examine the often-overlooked positive effects of ADD. With more than 200,000 copies in print, YOU MEAN I'M NOT LAZY, STUPID, OR CRAZY?! is already an essential reference for anyone facing the challenges of adult ADD. This new edition is a perfect blend of strategies for daily life and must-have medical information-an inspiring resource that enables the millions of adults living with ADD to finally take control.
