This guide is designed for women with ADHD who seek to celebrate their unique brilliance and embark on a journey of self-discovery. Despite being one of the most common neurological disorders in the U.S., 75 percent of girls and women remain undiagnosed. The gender gap in medical research often overlooks how symptoms manifest differently in women, resulting in increased issues with anxiety, depression, working memory, sleep, energy, and concentration.

She offers innovative tools, systems, and strategies to unlock productivity, focus, and confidence. With her engaging style, Otsuka addresses the unique challenges faced by ADHD women while highlighting their extraordinary qualities: creativity, focused attention, empathy, and entrepreneurial spirit. Readers, even without an official diagnosis, will gain the resources to tackle their to-do lists and discover their true purpose. This comprehensive and lively guide serves as a beacon of hope for women aiming to transform their symptoms into strengths and unlock their potential.

“If you read only one book about attention deficit disorder, it should be Delivered from Distraction.” —Michael Thompson, Ph.D. In 1994, Driven to Distraction revolutionized the understanding of attention deficit disorder (ADD), selling over a million copies. Now, a second revolution is underway, with significant changes in drug therapies, dietary and exercise roles, and the definition of the disorder itself. Many adults remain undiagnosed and untreated, highlighting the need for updated insights. Drs. Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey expand on previous breakthroughs to provide a comprehensive guide to thriving with ADD. They argue that “attention deficit disorder” is a misleading term for a unique mindset characterized by originality, charisma, and energy. This book offers engaging discussions on various aspects of ADD, including diagnosis, treatment options, and how to harness inner strengths. Readers will learn about familial links, new diagnostic methods, connections to other conditions, and both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical therapies. Strategies for overcoming procrastination, clutter, and forgetfulness are also covered. Featuring inspiring patient profiles, this guide serves as a compassionate resource for those with ADD and their loved ones.

With decades of experience working with ADD children, Dr. Edward Hallowell has long argued that ADD is too often misunderstood, mistreated, and mislabeled as a “disability.” Now he teams up with top academic ADD researcher Peter S. Jensen, M.D., to bring you an invaluable new approach to helping your ADD child. Superparenting for ADD offers a specific game plan including • UNCONDITIONAL LOVE Tune out the diagnosticians and simply nourish the spirit of your child for who he is. • VIEWING THE MIRROR TRAITS Recognize the positive sides of the negative symptoms associated with ADD: stubbornness = persistence; impulsiveness = creativity; intrusiveness = eagerness. • THE CYCLE OF EXCELLENCE Nurture an environment in which a child can safely take risks, reserve time to let a child dabble as a way to learn, encourage playful practice, support mastery of a skill, and then recognize a child’s accomplishments.
