Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder by Gabor Maté

4.0

---

this book was really good — informative, interesting, and very validating to my experiences with add. i love how gabor ties in systemic issues such as capitalism and patriarchy, as to why parents are stressed/origins of add.

i just wish it was split into two books — one for raising children with add, and one for dealing with it as adults. i also would love to hear how it impacts or shows itself differently in women vs men.
