Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder Paperback – 3 January 2019

This book is helpful for any ADHDer adult or any parent of a child with ADHD to truly understand how their symptoms manifest in different areas of their life. The author also, without placing blame on anyone, explains how these symptoms are related to the attachment styles each of us grew up with in our childhood homes.

Just reading this book triggered a whole path of healing within me. Written with compassion and immense experience in dealing with patients with ADD, the author is able to connect the list of ADD symptoms with its debilitating effects on life in wide variety of ways, with real life examples. What I found very helpful was his exploration of how the development of the brain is affected by the environment in the growing years and what truly makes us susceptible to ADD. And when you get down to the bottom of it, you realise that root cause isn’ta weakness at all.At the end of this exploration, he shares key areas to focus on (irony unintended) in order to grow and heal the deficiencies and also how to choose what treatment works best (and not what to choose).Grateful for the wisdom.

Such good insights. However I took a long time to read it as it triggered a lot of emotions within me which I know was required for my growth

Great book about ADD.

The concepts discussed in this book is essential for everyone. One's viewpoint (about certain things) would change after reading this.

Extremely well written! Must read for people who suspect they have ADHD. If you are looking for your first book to understand ADHD, this is the one! The author uses his personal experience to help the reader understand ADHD.

Great book. I think ot will be very helpful for ADD diagnosed people. I don't have ADD, but still read the book to understand how early ages of life shapes our brain, and this book tremendously explains about that a lot .

This book is a revelation for me in many aspects , Though familiar with Mate’s work via another book on When the Body says No , here I like how he has weaves in parenting aspects that could help both the child and parent .It doesn’t matter if your child is diagnosed with ADD or not , this is a gem for any parent
