Windows into the A.D.D. Mind: Understanding and Treating Attention Deficit Disorders in the Everyday Lives of Children, Adolescents and Adults

Excellent book for parents who have a child with ADD. It reads like a textbook, which it is, but full of wonderful information and help.

This should be a must read for every parent of an Adder or an Adult Adder. Dr. Amen has treated thousands of patients, but what assisted me tremendously is that he is both a father of two ADD children and a husband to an ADD adult. He has walked it so he can truly talk about it. I have two ADHD children and I am ADD. We got on the right track from reading this book shortly after being diagnosed. He covers the MANY angles of how ADD effects ones life and how to deal with it. The most technical part, understanding the frontal lobe where the disorder originates, is written in laymen terms. There is even a quiz that can be taken that will help direct you to where you may need to go next in receiving the help you need. AMEN to Dr. Amen

Dr. Amen is very committed to this work. His son has ADHD and he has dedicted is time to helping others and their quest for wholeness. I discovered I had ADD while researching the subject for my son. I fit the criteria for ADD. WOW what blow. But now I understand myself and my son. Since then I have taken alternative avenues to help my situation. Phytonutrients/aloevera products have helped an healed me and my son. Also he addresses the issue of alcoholism as an issue in some families and this may play a role in the family history contributing to undiagnosed ADD and or ADHD. From there I bounced to vision therapy issues for my other son and he has been helped and healing has begun physically and emotionally for him as well with the phytonutrients. I owe this healing continum blessing to God and to his soverignty for allowing Dr. Amen's book to come my way. I pray blessing on Dr. Amen for his time and caring for people with this disorder. Now, however, I do not call this a disorder. I call it a blessing, I know now that my son has genius qualities in certain areas and I am now homeschooling him as a result. What was a terrible blow to my pride and a frightening experience has now become a turning point to healing. I highly suggest you read the book,however, for those biblically trained, ignore the meditation and hypnosis approach, but, don't disregard the whole book because of these. Presently from here I'm writing a book on ADD and the bible all because of the initial book by Dr. Amen. I also suggest another book by Dr. Amen. Healing the Caos within, I believe this is the correct title name. Blessings on your journeys, God is in control and He loves you.Bonnie Homeschoolmom

I've been sharing this book with friends of mine who also have ADD. How do I know they have it? I run them through the surveys. Why didn't I give it a 10? It is full of typographical errors. Other than that, very useful!
