Debunking common myths and shedding light upon the way this disorder truly impacts people, this volume:
Presents the results of the largest clinical research study for ADD/ADHD, compiling 20 years of testing
Distinguishes the inattentive form of ADD from ADHD and additional disorders using neuropsychological testing
Provides statistical analysis from neuropsychological evaluations and self-reporting questionnaires from parents, teachers, adolescents, and adults
Demonstrates how anxiety frequently masks itself as hyperactivity and increases through the lifespan
Addresses the issue of ADHD misdiagnosis
Explains the importance of diagnosing additional comorbid disorders that impact medication management and treatment
Offers statistics showing the manner in which ADHD symptoms and additional issues affect people differently through the lifespan
Dr. Barbara C. Fisher is the author of three prior books on ADD/ ADHD. Trained as a neuropsychologist, she has been involved in the diagnosis of ADD/ADHD for over 20 years. On the cutting edge of assessing ADD/ADHD with neuropsychological testing, she does not rely upon self-report measures for diagnosis. Rather, she has used the same comprehensive battery of tests over time to demonstrate when the problem is purely ADD Inattentive disorder and when there is the impact of additional issues beyond ADD, which has resulted in more positive effects for treatment.
