Driven To Distraction

koki

It's one of the first books about ADD what is called now ADHD, it's so informative and must read to anyone who's interested in reading and himself/herself is an ADHD or has someone in the family diagnosed with ADHD, As Dr Hallowell mentioned in the book, education about ADHD for the patient himself/herself is a must and make it easier for the patient and his/her family to deal with it.
At the end I like to mention that ch.8 was the most informative and practical part, the first chapters were like a stories by the patients themselves, it was funny at some parts and glemming at anothers, I could relate to some of it and that was the best part, if u r an ADHD u will enjoy this book and find it informative too.

Very helpful for me, however for a book about ADD for ADD ppl, why are there so many stories and explanations that circle the point/lessons but don't really get to the meat until late in the book!? haha I found myself zoning out a lot and wishing there were more meat and less story, but still very helpful.

An informative book about a consistently misunderstood disorder

Driven To Distraction is an important book about a consistently misunderstood disorder and helps to explain exactly what ADD is as well as offering ways which can help in managing it effectively. I recommend reading it, even if you don't know anyone who has it or even have it yourself.
