 - Today is the day i stop beating myself up...Thank You Mr. Hallowell, tears ran down my face today, as i read from the book to my boyfriend who has stuck by me and i screamed in joy, "i told you its not my fault." "we have hope." i apologized to myself for putting myself down for 28 years, and i look foward to my treatment, and my new life. this book saved my life. Rating: - One of the best places to startThis book is a great resource for those who wonder if they may have some issues with ADD and ADHD (actually the same diagnosis) I originally bought this book to figure myself out (and subsequently saw clues to my mother's behavior all these years). WHen my youngest was diagnosed with ADHD, I re-read it to get the perspective of a child's struggle with ADD. Essential reading. Rating: - Do you question what ADD is and whether you or someone you love has ADD?This book can change your life. If you read this book, and you see your life history/story, maybe you should find out a little more about ADD and yourself. Or if you read this book and you see your husband, wife or child, this can be a first step in answering many questions. Rating: - The classic for ADD informationI love this book, and have bought several copies over the years for newly diagnosed friends, etc. It is concise, clear and not overly stuffy. It doesn't throw a pity party like some books about disabilities do, and offers a diagnostic criteria, as well as coping skills, medical links, and resources listed in the back. A must read if you or anyone you love has ADD, or ADHD. Rating: - The BEST.The absolute best book out there for an introduction to ADD. The structure of the book is perfectly managable for an ADDer without being condescendingly superficial or taking on a tone of talking to children, like some of these books do. I'd also recommend it to anyone who has friends or family who either doubt the existence of or (just don't know much about) ADD. Check out Hallowell's "Delivered" for more coping mechanisms, and info on treatment, therapy and medication. In association with Amazon.com | |
