Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological
disorder that affects millions of people of all ages worldwide and has
effects that ripple through society. _Navigating Life with ADHD_ is a
guidebook to help adults with ADHD, parents of children with ADHD, and
their caregivers and loved ones thrive.The understanding of ADHD has
been evolving: Once seen as a problem of "bad kids with bad parents,"
today people of all ages and from all walks of life are diagnosed with
ADHD. With effective treatment, people with ADHD can have amazing
career trajectories and make highly original and valuable
contributions to society. But what does it mean to have ADHD? The
recognition of ADHD has been increasing steadily, and the American
Academy of Neurology is proud to shed light on this topic and bring
greater understanding to all involved. Readers will learn about the
effects of ADHD on the lives of children and adults with the disorder
and how to navigate these effects with loved ones and caregivers. The
authors discuss how best to manage the many challenges associated with
ADHD holistically: not simply focusing on ADHD but also its
relationship to anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and other
commonly co-occurring conditions. Medication and non-medication
treatments are covered in an easy-to-understand way. With the liberal
use of patient vignettes throughout, readers will relate and feel
comfortable understanding what ADHD is -- and isn't-- and how to
maximise success for the ADHDer in their life or for themselves if
they themselves have ADHD.
