The Complete Idiot's Guide to Adult ADHD
A thorough examination of a misunderstood condition.
Though it's traditionally thought of as a childhood disorder, a growing body of research is bringing awareness to the fact that ADHD often continues into adulthood, though its symptoms often take on a different form and make the disorder more difficult to diagnose.
•Covers what ADHD looks like in adults, how symptoms can vary greatly from one person to the next, and how it often gets misdiagnosed
•Includes information on related conditions that often coexist with adult ADHD, including depression and anxiety
•Discusses various treatment options-pharmaceutical, behavioral, lifestyle, and alternative approaches

Brilliant book! Extremely informative and concise. There is such a great wealth of information in this book without overwhelming the reader on each separate topic.
I highly recommend this book for every single adult with ADHD. At the very least understanding what ADHD is and what options there are for treatment or accommodations will be extremely helpful. You may even find yourself saying "Oh, I thought I was the only one!"

This book was a great book. It would be a good book to read if you are an adult and have ADHD or you know an adult who has it. This book is strictly for adults with ADHD. I thought it was a wonderful book and very inciteful and was a very easy and quick read for me.
