    About this ebook

    Do your or any other adult in your family have challenges with ADD (attention deficit disorder) and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)?  If so this book serves well to help you to learn more about the two condition as well as learn the best ways in which they can be treated at this level. A lot of the attention is usually placed on children but this book focuses on the adults and dealing with it on that level.

    These adults may not have been diagnosed while they were children or were misdiagnosed due to the information available at the time. These adults all have challenges with impulsivity, over-activity and inattentiveness or a mixture of all three. It is an extremely challenging condition as persons have to be able to pay attention to learn or even to get a simple task done. Let us not even look at the situation in the workplace.

    The great thing is that once properly diagnosed the proper course of treatment can be prescribed. This among other things is all outlined in the book in terminology that anyone that reads the book can understand.

    The main aim of the book is to allow persons the opportunity to be able to function as normally as they possibly can and also to be able to work and earn an income without having to be dependent on others.

    Author

    Jason Newman

    Jason Newman is more than familiar with this topic as he was diagnosed with ADD in his adult life. It was not until he was diagnosed that he and his family understood why he had so many challenges in school and now had a challenge keeping the most basic job for more than a few weeks. After getting the right set of medications to keep the symptoms he was able to complete his high school diploma and finally get admitted into a college. He is aware however that is he stops taking the medication he will back to square one with all the challenges that come with the disease. As such he diced to write the book for others that are having the same problem that he is and to outline what he went through and how they can find out if this is the problem that they have. The appropriate definitions are given along with the symptoms that can indicate that someone is suffering from ADD or ADHD. It has become clear over the last few years that this problem is a bit more prevalent than it appears to be as many remain undiagnosed and are not able to function properly as a result.

    I want to dedicate this book to my wife who first encouraged me to get tested, with the help I have gotten I’ve made so much headway in just being able to communicate effectively that my life will never be the .same.

    Typical symptoms of ADD/ADHD:

    Inadequate internal supervision

    Dragging of The Feet (undue delay with decisions)

    Inattentive ADHD- includes features of ADHD but is characterized by lack of energy as opposed to hyperactivity- stimulant medication recommended.

    Category 3

    Category 5
