 Finally, Somebody knows what they're talking about part 2 Jul 13, 2006
By Renee DeShane
I bought this book at the same time I bought Delivered From Distraction. I read this book first because of it's focus on adults and medications which is what concerned me most. After my insurance company took away my name brand prescription, I began to take the generic which proved disastrous on many levels. Since that time I have struggled to find a medication that would be right for me and OK with my insurance company. Scattered Minds; Hope and Help... has given me all the information there is right now. I loaned this book to my doctor and we are working things out. Like the book says, "Just keep trying".That is what I am doing, only now, with more help than I've ever had before,thanks to this book.

unique and insightful look into adult ADHD May 23, 2006
By Steven Sabin
DR. Lenard Adler has written a comprehensive book on adult ADHD.
Unlike other books on the subject DR. Adler does not give us a
"pop" psychological view of this disorder. He debunks commonn misconceptions of ADHD and offers up to date information regarding medications used to treat this disorder. I recommend
this book for those who have ADHD and want more than just a rah rah rah approach to their "Scattered Minds".

An Excellent Resource for Adult ADHD Jun 06, 2006
By Alan R. Graham
"PhD Psychologist/Coach"
As a co-owner of the ADDvisor, we hosted a teleconference featuring Dr. Lenard Adler in May. Dr. Adler was a very engaging speaker and provided many valuable insights into adult ADHD.
Dr. Adler's new book, Scattered Minds, highlights both his knowledge about ADHD with writing that is both accessible and readable. This goes for professionals as well as the general public.
In understandable terms, Dr. Adler describes the neurobiology of ADHD, the co-existing conditions that often accompany ADHD, medications and complimentary treatments and alternative treatments.
'Scattered Minds' can be used as a reference for questions as they come up or can be read cover-to-cover. Either way, your book shelf will be more valuable as you collect your resources about ADHD.

 Much Better Choices Available Than This Dec 07, 2006
By Gene Friedman
There are much better books on adult ADD available than this one by Adler. They are (in no particular order):
1) Delivered From Distraction
2) Healing ADD by Amen
3) You Mean I'm Not Lazy Stupid or Crazy
4) Attention Deficit Disorder by Brown
5) When Too Much Isn't Enough by Wendy Richardson
Adler's book is so-so and I would put it at the bottom of my list of favorite ADD books. There are plenty of horrible analogies and he gets into details of biology that are unnecessary and hard for an ADDer to follow. The only redeeming feature was that it has the best and latest info on ADD meds that I have seen.

 Decent for those just learning about AD/HD Mar 06, 2009
By Sheena J. Searight
I bought this book but ended up returning it as it did not present me with much information that I didn't already know, and that which I didn't I could find on the internet. This is coming from someone who's read other books, researched academic studies, and had many conversations with AD/HD friends and specialists.
However, I do think it would be a decent book for someone new to the subject. I especially like how it covers the neurology of the disorder, and that it has an up-to-date section on drugs used to help treat ADHD. I also very much appreciated that the book doesn't insult my dignity with cutesy cartoons and "you're OK!" fluff the way books on these kinds of disorders tend to do. The section dealing with self-diagnosis - what ADHD is and isn't - is great too. Would make a good read for those living and dealing with us!
All in all this is a concise little book with up-to-date information on the basics of AD/HD.
