Women with Attention Deficit Disorder

Every year, millions of withdrawn little girls and chronically overwhelmed women go undiagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder because they don't fit the stereotypical profile: they're not fast-talking, hyperactive, or inattentive, and they are not male. Sari Solden's groundbreaking study reveals that ADD affects just as many women as men, and that the resulting depression, disorganization, anxiety, and underachievement are also symptoms of ADD. Newly revised and updated to reflect the latest clinical research, the book provides a new screening checklist specifically for women, explores treatment and counseling options, and uses real-life case histories to examine the special challenges women with ADD face, such as the shame of not fulfilling societal expectations. Three empowering steps restructuring one's life, renegotiating relationships, and redefining self-image help women take control of their lives and enjoy success on their own terms.Solden, Sari is the author of 'Women with Attention Deficit Disorder' with ISBN 9781887424981 and ISBN 1887424989.
