📘 Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in adults by Paul H. Wender

Most people still think of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as a psychiatric disorder affecting only young children and adolescents. During the past decade, however, researchers have become convinced that ADHD is not always outgrown with age. Instead, they insist, it very often persists in later life and is a common psychiatric disorder in adults. Paul H. Wender, who has been studying and writing about this disorder for more than 25 years, is the ideal candidate to sort out the current controversy surrounding the often undiagnosed ailment. Now, in Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Adults, Wender for the first time gathers together the important new breakthroughs he and others have made in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD in adults. Written for psychiatrists and non-medical therapists, but also of interest to the lay reader, the book emphasizes the commonalities that emerge from the research literature and winnows the factual from the sensational or overly simplistic reports in the popular media.
