Amen, M.D. Using a nuclear medicine technique called "single photon emission computed tomography" (SPECT)--a controversial step, according to some of his peers--Dr. Amen scans patients' brains to identify various abnormalities. From more than 8,000 such studies and more than 12,000 patient evaluations, Dr. Amen concludes that six--not the formerly presumed two--different types of ADD exist. This book encompasses the full spectrum of Dr. Amen's work: from symptom identification to clinical evaluation, to diet and medication recommendations, to everyday strategies for living with ADD (whether the reader is a parent of an ADD child, or has been diagnosed with the disease.)<p> No stranger to the skepticism surrounding this topic, Dr. Amen begins with a list of dead-on myths (including "ADD is overdiagnosed") and surprising facts ("Many people with ADD are never hyperactive"). From this intriguing beginning flows a highly readable chapter on the signs and manifestations of ADD in all ages. Dr. Amen's full description of SPECT imaging includes multiple brain scan photos that nicely support his theories. But the most satisfying element of this well-researched presentation occurs in the final half of the book; here, Amen thoroughly explores the biological (diet, exercise, medication), psychological (from personal coaching to psychotherapy), and social support (parenting and school strategies) needed to heal each type of ADD. This book will prove a valuable tool for parents, adult sufferers, and medical professionals seeking practical support for managing this increasingly recognized condition. <I>--Liane Thomas</I> 301914 2001 Healing ADD: The Breakthrough Program That Allows You to See and Heal the 6 Types of ADD total:81|5:34|4:28|3:14|2:2|1:3| 81 331 129 27 4 1 false false Fri Nov 28 20:16:58 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 28 20:24:55 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 08 06:54:20 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 08 06:54:20 -0700 2007 This man is a dynamo of energy and enthusiam for fixing the brain when everyone else is giving up.
