The ADHD Update: Understanding Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder

By Laura Silverstein Nunn, Virginia B. Silverstein, Alvin Silverstein

What is ADHD? What are the symptoms? How are the symptoms treated? Readers learn about this common behavioral condition that causes problems in three main areas: inability to focus or pay attention (inattention), being overly active (hyperactivity), and acting without thinking first (impulsivity). The disorder is most often identified in school-age children, but many of them will continue to have the condition as adults. The book includes practical sidebars and chapters highlight individuals who struggle with the disorder. Because ADHD affects so many people's lives, this book is a must-have for every young adult collection.
