About this title

Synopsis

does anyone who has difficulties with attention and concentration have ADHD?
There are several common myths about ADHD that may have contributed to its being one of the most diagnosed and drug-treated disorders.
The book aims to convey truthful knowledge and disprove prevailing myths about ADHD. It presents a vast amount of scientific references and discusses subtopics in the field:•Acceptable and valid diagnostics.•Rejection of a diagnosis of ADHD by distinguishing difficulties in attention that are the result of other disorders.•Etiology of ADHD: neuropsychology, brain functioning, heredity, and genetics.•Treatment and interventions; costs and benefits of drug and non-drug treatments.•The subjective experience of people diagnosed with ADHD•Myths about ADHD that may have contributed to the development of the ADHD phenomenon.
This book is a significant benefit for: •Parents who need to know more about the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD provided they know the basic scientific concepts of the domain. I consider parents the most important when talking about a possible diagnosis for their child, so they should have reliable information. •Professionals who have to learn more about the diagnosis of ADHD•Students seeking extensive scientific information about ADHD for their work.Worth mentioning that the book's initial version was published in 2019 in Hebrew by the eminent "ACH" publishing house in Israel and gained popularity and good reviews.
