Attention Deficit Disorder is a little-understood brain imbalance that usually manifests itself as childhood hyperactivity. Although the syndrome is harder to recognize in adults, psychiatrists who specialize in the disorder estimate that it may affect between three to ten million people in the United States alone. This interactive workbook enables readers who are struggling with the condition to identify the personal problems caused by it and develop skills for coping with them. Readers learn how to assess themselves and work through exercises structured to help them deal with self-esteem issues, change negative or distorted thinking patterns, manage stress, and develop a structured approach to starting and finishing tasks. Final chapters offer specific suggestions for handling common problems at work and school, dealing with intimate relationships, and finding support.
