An excellent reference December 29, 2007
This is the kind of book my doctor advises me to read, it's a very good reference, as well as Dr. Thomas Brown himself for his work in this field. I was pleasantly surprised to find out I had been lucky enough to read it before contacting my doctor, I had been searching in the right place, thank God.
For someone who wants to understand thoroughly AD/HD this is a must. Probably not as down to earth or apparently simple as some "practical" books you find here and there, but that's mostly because of some sections where the whole chemical or structural process is explained. He makes more of a medical approach to the problem. Yet, the personal experiences he uses in the book help us a lot to see how that affects real people, in common day to day situations. Sometimes amusing, others dramatic or even tragic.
In my opinion, you may find very useful to read this book plus Edward Hallowell's/John J. Ratey's "Driven to Distraction" and "Delivered from Distraction". These last two's approach is slightly more simple and will help you to get a wider perspective.
I guess Dr. Brown's seems to be more complete and structured for someone who wants an acurate understanding of this issue, but I think they actually complete each others.
A truly excellent book. November 24, 2007
Very informative and well written. Nowhere near as technical as I thought it would be but full of interesting facts none the less.
Highly recommended!
I liked this book so much that the Library are chasing me to give it back!
Thanks Tom for Great Book November 21, 2005

Dr Thomas Brown is really well known and respected for all of his work for ADHD and in this book he brings his knowledge both academic and reality of living with the condition through all he has learnt from patients into a great book to span through from childhood into adulthood.The book itself is grounded by the scientific details of ADHD but it is just right for those of us who find books that are either too scientific or medical difficult to read as the author uses plain language to talk in detail of all of the aspects of life for the person with ADHD. I am sure that as people read this book will find themselves reading about themselves or those they are either living, working with or love on virtually every page. The challenges that are faced with everyday life are covered from childhood through to adults which is fantastic as it gives ideas for families on how to help a child overcome some of the challenges they may face as they grow up and also for the adults it gives ideas how to work with things now. The author talks about the correct treatment and monitoring for those with ADHD and how important it is to get this right to give the optimum benefit and also dismisses a lot of the myths that surround ADHD which is vital. In all this is a must for parents to help their child, adults to help them learn more, teachers to enable them to help students and medical professionals to help with the recognition and evaluation procedure. In all a book for everyone who wants to know and understand more about ADHD from someone who has done many years of work within the world of ADHD. Caroline Hensby adders.org

A new and interesting book on people with ADD covering all ages but mainly for adults to read. It gets very scientific at times when explaining what's going on in the brain and offers no drug-free alternatives, but still a fascinating book. It has been very useful as I have a teenage daughter recently diagnosed, and a husband who now realises that he has it.
