| Abstract
|
:
|
"This volume addresses difficulties in diagnosing adult ADHD, including the debate about whether the disorder exists as a valid entity. Brian Doyle covers the genetic and biochemical bases of the disorder and explains how understanding ADHD in children illuminates current thinking about the disorder in adults."

"Comprehensive treatment demands more than just medication, and Dr. Doyle explores a wide range of options. He covers the full range of medications for ADHD, including new agents that expand the range of therapeutic choices. He provides specific information about both CNS and nonstimulant medications, discussing their controversies and the potential dangers of the CNS stimulants. In addition to medications, Dr. Doyle advocates other interventions, including cognitive behavioral therapies. He also includes strategies for comorbid and medication-resistant ADHD. Readers will find coverage of such issues as the impact of ADHD in the workplace, special considerations regarding women, and the effects of ADHD on families."--Jacket.
