this ADD book is different: -it is by a psychiatrist, about his own struggles with ADD and those of his patients and his friends. -it is personal, about real people coping with real problems. -it is about strategies, not about medications or the history, definition or diagnosis of ADD. -it is not academic. it is interesting and light reading, with lots of helpful information and ideas. written in plain language, the print is large and the chapters short, with a summary after each.
