ADHD Does Not Exist: The Truth about Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder by Richard Saul

informative slow-paced

3.0

Title is misleading/clickbaity. Because of the title, I would never have read this book if I hadn't checked out every single book my library had on ADHD, but I'm glad I did. The author doesn't dispute the existence of ADHD (which has been scientifically confirmed to exist through brain scans), but posits that ADHD is merely a symptom, not a diagnosis itself. He offers a list of 14+ conditions ADHD may be a symptom of: everything from Tourette's to Autism to Mood Disorders. Considering the high rate of comorbitity amongst all these conditions, he's probably onto something here, and it was certainly an interesting change of perspective. Writing is dry/not great.
