Editorial Review: Product Description: Gender Issues and AD/HD: Research, Diagnosis, and Treatment, edited by Patricia Quinn, M.D. and Kathleen Nadeau, Ph.D., is the first clinical guide to diagnosis and treatment of women with AD/HD.

Several important topics unique to women are addressed that have received little attention elsewhere, including the need to rethink DSM-IV diagnostic criteria, the impact of hormones upon AD/HD in women, the use of medications during pregnancy, and the range of coexisting conditions that complicate and often mask AD/HD in women. A structured AD/HD Self-Assessment Symptom Inventory for women, the SASI, is introduced in this volume as a tool to help clinicians consider important gender related issues during the diagnostic process. This volume will be an invaluable resource for clinicians who seek to accurately diagnose and effectively treat women with AD/HD. Average Rating:

This would be an excellent resource for medical doctors to help make them aware that AD/HD in girls and women IS real and not just "in their heads." Rating: - Great AD/HD ResourceThis is a great resource for professionals who treat and work with females with AD/HD, females with AD/HD, and parents of females with AD/HD. Though the book may be intended for professionals, the setup of the book is very ADD Friendly and the language is easy to understand. I think reading this book will be very benefical to women with AD/HD and family members of females with AD/HD. It may put females ahead of the game when they seek treatment for AD/HD. It may give them a better idea ... Read More
