Driven to Distraction: Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder

After discovering I probably have ADHD after training as a counsellor, this was recommended to me as a great book to read to find out more about the condition. It is indeed excellent, and really help me to understand myself as well as my children.

Has changed my life! This is the most informative book on the subject and is written with such clarity and warmth. If you or a loved one are beginning the journey to diagnosis and coming to terms with the symptoms, i promise you will not be disappointed!

A great book for anyone with ADHD. It is comprehensive, well-written and full of great tips for anyone living with this condition. It's a must read if you have just been diagnosed with ADHD, particularly good for adults with ADHD.

This book written by two doctors should enlighten GP's and some psychiatrists that ADD is an affliction that CAN affect very bright people. It has been a tremendous help to my PhD son who has ADD and was told he was too bright to have it!!!!!!.

Brilliantly written book full of different cases that you can relate to making the book easy to read! Also he wrote the book so that you can go off and come back! So good I bought it for his teacher and school

This book can illuminate the worlds of those with histories of ADD. So many friends with ADD (with or w/o hyperactivity) have had Eureka moments of self-discovery and even better, self-appreciation, as a result of reading "Driven to Distraction."

Out-of-date, boring, slightly patronising. This book was possibly revolutionart in its day, but not any more. Woefully old-fashioned and highly annoying, filled with its examples of patient encounters with people with Adhd. Read Gabor Mate's book instead

Hard to read
