Books?

Hi, just curious, has anyone read any books regarding ADHD? Recognizing signs of ADHD, treatment, living with ADHD, etc. that sort of thing.

I finally have an appointment with a psychiatrist this coming Monday to discuss the possibility of me having ADHD (and if not that, then what).

Thanks!

Ive read driven to distraction. it was one of the first books i read. the rest. not so hot in my honest opinion let me kow what you think

I've read "Taking Charge of ADHD" and I thought it was too long. It basically can be condensed into a 10 page booklet, but was stretched out into a long book with lots of words, but little information.

This looks like an interesting book for adults:

I liked both Driven to Distraction and Delivered from Distraction as intro books. I didn't like that they said things like "if you have ADD you might not be able to read this book all the way through --- I am really wary of stereotypes-- but I used them as references and read the parts that were relevant. There were also some really comforting parts both about what the diagnosis meant and about meds. I haven't read a lot of "Attention Deficit Disorder: The Unfocused Mind in Children and Adults" by Thomas Brown, but I REALLY liked what I did read because it's very factual and really gets into the science in an understandable way, which I found a bunch of the books were missing.

I like Delivered from Distraction and Journeys Through ADDulthood!
