The Breakthrough Program that Allows You to See and Heal the 7 Types of ADD/ADHD. This book is a summary of “Healing ADD: The Breakthrough Program that Allows You to See and Heal the 7 Types of ADD,” by Daniel G. Amen, MD. Attention deficit disorder (ADD), also known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is the most common learning and behavior problem in children. Children with ADD/ADHD may be hyperactive, unable to control their impulses and have trouble paying attention. These behaviors interfere with school and home life. ADD/ADHD is also one of the most common problems in adults and has been associated with job failures, relationship breakups, loneliness, low self-esteem, drug abuse, Alzheimer’s disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. The good news is that brain imaging research has uncovered the connections between the brain and behavior. Brain SPECT imaging allows doctors to see the areas of vulnerability in the ADD/ADHD brain and why it has such a negative impact on learning, behavior, and emotion. Research shows that there are 7 types of ADD/ADHD affecting different areas of the brain. Targeted treatment of these brain areas can improve brain function and give sufferers more access to their own abilities. This book gives you a new perspective on ADD/ADHD and gives you the tools to effectively manage and even thrive with ADD/ADHD.

His teachers said he was impulsive and did things without thinking. His parents knew these problems firsthand, and had tried to fix them by sending him to a pediatrician. #2 Melissa, age 5, had been affectionately labeled the pink tornado. She had a severe case of Ring of Fire ADD. Her parents brought her to see me after she was nearly run down in a parking lot after she opened the car door and ran into a store. #3 The symptoms of Inattentive ADD, which is commonly but rarely diagnosed in females, are a short attention span, easily distracted, and little substance. After starting treatment, Louanne dramatically improved. #4 When Gregg first came to see me at the age of 14, he was a wreck. He had just been expelled from his third school for fighting and breaking the rules. He never did his homework, and he talked about dropping out of school. But when I did a test of verbal intelligence on him, his demeanor changed.

Understanding and Healing Anxiety and Depression This book is a summary of “Healing Anxiety and Depression,” by Daniel G. Amen, MD, and Lisa C. Routh, MD. Anxiety and depression are a huge problem for millions of people. Compounding the problem is the mistaken belief that these disorders result from bad character or weak will. Recent cutting-edge brain science has shown that they result from brain dysfunction, and if we can diagnose and treat them, we can improve the patient’s quality of life. Dr. Daniel Amen has spearheaded the use of brain SPECT imaging to uncover the connections between the brain and behavior. These imaging studies have revealed the major anxiety and depression centers of the brain and helped him develop new, effective approaches to diagnosis and treatment. This book summarizes these exciting discoveries and the treatment regimens used.

Everyone who works with children should read this book. This book is a summary of “ADHD Nation: Children, Doctors, Big Pharma, and the Making of an American Epidemic,” by Alan Schwarz. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a biological disorder of the brain that can be treated with medications when appropriate. In the 1980s, only 3 percent of American children were diagnosed with ADHD. But now that number is 15 percent—three times what the experts have said is appropriate. Meanwhile, the prevalence of ADHD in other countries such as France, Finland, and Japan, has remained low at below 1 percent. This means that millions of American kids, some as young as three years old, are misdiagnosed and taking powerful stimulant medications like Adderall and Ritalin for a psychiatric condition they probably do not have. This book reveals the powerful forces fueling its widespread diagnosis and drug treatment through the experiences of three people. One is the father of ADHD and its medications, who now regrets its current misuse. The second is a 7-year-old girl who was misdiagnosed with ADHD. The third is a 14-year-old boy who faked symptoms to get the drug. Both kids spent ten years suffering the consequences of using the medication. Read this book if you are a parent, professional or individual who is dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I have lived with ADD, and I know what it is like. I have had trouble holding a small child because she is in constant motion, I have had to chase a child through the store, and I have had to repeat myself 32 times to get a child up in the morning. #2 I adored Antony, my adopted son, but his room was a mess. I used to ask him if he planned to have his room that messy. His handwriting was a mess and a half hour of homework took him three hours to do. #3 When Kaitlyn was three years old, her psychologist diagnosed her with ADD. The treatment for ADD helped Kaitlyn significantly. It also helped me understand my own anxiety and focus issues. #4 Breanne’s learning struggles had nothing to do with her intelligence. The low activity in her brain was limiting the access she had to her own brain. I had her continue with the low dose of medicine along with some supplements.
