From the jacket flap
A life of turbulence, underachievement, and heart-breaking setbacks is the reality for many adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. In contrast, Understanding and Treating Adults With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder shows that with effective treatment, many affected adults can lead fuller, more satisfying lives.
This authoritative volume addresses difficulties in diagnosing adult ADHD, including the debate about whether the disorder exists as a valid entity. Dr. Doyle covers the genetic and biochemical bases of the disorder and explains how understanding ADHD in children illuminates current thinking about the disorder in adults.
Comprehensive treatment demands more than just medication, and Dr. Doyle explores a wide range of options. He covers the full range of medications for ADHD, including new agents that expand the range of therapeutic choices. He provides specific information about both CNS and nonstimulant medications, discussing the controversies about these medications, including the potential dangers of the CNS stimulants. In addition to medications, Dr. Doyle advocates other interventions, including the cognitive behavioral therapies. He also includes strategies for comorbid and medication-resistant ADHD. Readers will find coverage of such issues as the impact of ADHD in the workplace, special considerations regarding women, and the effects of ADHD on families.
Forming a therapeutic alliance with adult ADHD patients poses special challenges. Clinical examples from adults with ADHD in his practice provide a vivid counterpoint to the scientific data about the disorder. An expert in his field, Dr. Doyle speaks to enhanced life prospects for those who suffer from ADHD. He promotes a medically sound yet flexible and creative approach to treating these unconventional patients.
