Distracted minds

Scattered Minds by Gabor Maté… “Dr. Gabor Maté is a renowned physician and a bestselling author. He himself has ADHD. In his book, Scattered Minds, he thoroughly examines the myth of a genetic origin for the disorder and offers real hope, as well as sound advice and counsel, to those affected by it, both children and adults. By demonstrating that ADHD is not a hereditary genetic disease that one lives with forever, but rather an imbalance that can be overcome, this book allows parents to understand the feelings and behaviors of their children with the disorder, and also enables adults with the disorder to become more aware of their own feelings and behaviors. This book, based on years of practical medical experience and numerous studies and research, should be read by parents of children with ADHD, and by anyone generally interested in understanding how early childhood experiences shape the biological and psychological makeup of the human brain.
