Descriere Adhd: The Facts - Mark Selikowitz

\nADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) is now recognised as one of the most common causes of \nlearning and behavioural difficulties in school-aged children. Symptoms include poor concentration, \nforgetfulness, poor organisation, impulsivity, restlessness, poor social skills, learning difficulties, low selfesteem, \nand defiant behaviour. Despite growing awareness of ADHD among parents and health \nprofessionals, it is still widely misunderstood. \nThis third edition of ADHD: The Facts provides information on how ADHD is diagnosed, on conventional \nmedical and alternative therapies, and on ways of helping children to improve their own behaviour, selfesteem, \nand academic results. Written by an experienced paediatrician, the book provides practical advice \nto help parents understand their child's difficulties and how to overcome them. With detailed explanations \nof the cause of ADHD, its nature, and treatments of the condition that have proved effective over time, \nthis new edition includes developments in the understanding of conditions that often coexist with it, as \nwell as problems experienced by adults with ADHD. \n \nADHD: The Facts will be of invaluable assistance to parents of children with ADHD and to teachers, \npsychologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and doctors wanting an authoritative, up-to-date, \nand practical review of the condition. \n\n
