First point to make clear. Yes, the psychiatric field has redesignated this as ADHD or AD/HD. Either one is a ridiculous position. Upon reading this book, and his others, it is clear that the diagnosis of 'ADD/ADHD' is woefully inadequate. What we believe to be personality problems are, in fact, expressions of brain health derived from trauma or genetics; trauma includes impacts, fumes, alcohol, drugs and so forth. Both can be seen in SPECT scans as areas of the brain with low or excessive bloodflow.This information completely changed at how I perceive ADD/ADHD. I always believed it was much less common and exaggerated by the pharma companies. Was completely wrong. If you or someone you know is suffering from some type of 'personality issue,' get this book. Because that 'issue' is more than likely a brain health problem.And, for those who think ADD is a scam, I can assure you that the low cost of this book will prove you differently. One way Dr. Amen has credibility with me is in that he stresses holistic, both FREE or low-cost, methods FIRST. In fact, for mild cases, his free methods are all you need. Kind of hard to be a scam when his therapies can be taken hime FOR FREE.
