Driven to Distraction: Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood Through Adulthood by John J. Ratey, Edward M. Hallowell

4.0

I am giving this book 4 instead of 5 stars, only because it is a bit outdated. The book references the DSM III, which was before the mental health community fully recognized ADHD in adults. Still, this is a valuable resource that takes an affirming look at ADHD. It was interesting reading the section on what is happening in the brain as much of what was theory at the time has been confirmed. This is a book I will be recommending to others as it outlines both the challenges and strengths that come with ADHD.
