The information it provides makes it an indispensable resource for anyone whose life is affected—directly or indirectly—by this disorder. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that may lead to difficulties paying attention, problems controlling behavior, and excessive activity. What You Need to Know about ADHD conveys what individuals and families affected by ADHD need to know about it in order to manage its symptoms and to help their loved ones to grow. This book is a part of Greenwood's Inside Diseases and Disorders series, which profiles a variety of physical and psychological conditions, distilling and consolidating vast collections of scientific knowledge into concise, readable volumes. A list of "Top 10" essential questions begins each book, providing quick-access answers to readers' most pressing concerns. The text follows a standardized, easily navigable structure, with each chapter exploring a particular facet of the topic. In addition to covering basics such as causes, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options, books in this series delve into issues that are less commonly addressed but critical to understand, such as effects on loved ones and caregivers. Case illustrations highlight key themes discussed in the book and are accompanied by insightful analyses and recommendations.
