Books like Adult ADHD by J. J. Sandra Kooij
Adult ADHD: Diagnostic Assessment and Treatment (Third Edition) provides a comprehensive, clinician‑focused overview of ADHD in adults. It reviews diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis with bipolar and borderline personality disorders, and the frequent symptom overlap with chronic fatigue syndrome, especially in the inattentive subtype. The book also addresses circadian rhythm disturbances and the chronic delayed sleep phase syndrome, outlining their health consequences such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Additional sections explore the relationship between ADHD and intelligence, criminality, sexuality, dyslexia, autism, and the importance of early recognition by professionals. Diagnostic tools are detailed, including the structured Diagnostic Interview for Adult ADHD (DIVA) and screening questionnaires based on DSM‑IV criteria. Treatment options span psychoeducation, motivation, individual and group coaching, long‑acting stimulants, newer pharmacotherapies, and melatonin for sleep‑phase issues. Practical guidance on establishing a multidisciplinary adult ADHD department, references, websites, and international contacts are also provided. The book is intended for students, junior doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental healthcare professionals, offering a concise yet thorough update of the science and methods in adult ADHD diagnosis and management.

• Have trouble paying attention and staying on task?

• Struggle with self-doubt and difficulty following through?
• In a way that causes problems in your relationships or your work?
If so, you may have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)—like an estimated 8 million adults in this country. Physician-researcher Dr. Lidia Zylowska has created an 8-step program for using mindfulness practice (attention and awareness training) to overcome the symptoms of ADHD. The program includes practices such as sitting meditation, body awareness, thoughtful speaking and listening, development of self-acceptance, mindful self-coaching, cultivation of a balanced view of thoughts and emotions, and more. Dr. Zylowska educates readers about ADHD, helping them to understand how their ADHD brain works and how they can use mindful awareness to work with their challenges. She also explains how the mindful approach can be combined with other treatments, including medications, to boost self-improvement.
This book is accompanied by an audio program of guided mindfulness exercises for successfully managing ADHD.
