Synopsis Disruptive Mood by : Argyris Stringaris
A practical guide to understanding and treating children and adolescents prone to extreme levels of angry outbursts, Disruptive Mood: Irritability in Children and Adolescents is based on the very latest research and theory. Providing both a clinical and scientific perspective on irritability in children, this book is a timely look at recent developments in the field. Abnormal states of anger are a common reason for referral to child health services, and cause concern in clinics, schools, and families. Misdiagnosis and treatment can stem from a lack of understanding of the mechanisms involved in high levels of anger in children, and Disruptive Mood: Irritability in Children and Adolescents provides clear guidance on the development of abnormal states of anger, their consequences for later development, and how to assess and make differential diagnoses between them. A useful resource for clinical practice, this book is concise and accessible, and offers tools for evaluating treatments. Disruptive Mood: Irritability in Children and Adolescents is designed for practitioners involved in child and adolescent mental health and education and researchers who need an introduction to this complex field.

Written for all readers, this resource is both comprehensive and straightforward, with quick tips and concise guidance in each chapter.

Section three unpacks the critical topic of Race, Culture, and Ethnicity in ADHD, and the hard-to-find topic of Relationships, Sexuality, and Sexual Behavior in Adolescents with ADHD. The closing and must-read chapters include practical guidance for parenting, thriving in high school, and planning the next steps for success. Across all four sections, clinical scenarios mirror common dilemmas faced by parents and teachers, and recurrent challenges familiar to clinicians. Information and resources direct the reader to best practices in ADHD in adolescents, with useful strategies usable for everyone.

Synopsis ADHD and Depression by : Dr John Tyler
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is a disorder that begins in childhood. It usually persists for years and results in significant deficits in cognitive, academic and social development. it is found to occur in about 3-7% of children, and persists in 36-60% of them into adulthood for an overall adult prevalence of about 4.5%.It is found that as ADHD continues to play a major role in the individual's life, demoralization occurs to a large extent leading to comorbidities, such as substance abuse or depressive symptoms, as an effort to cope or due to internalization of the underachievement they face on a chronic basis. Many adults with ADHD did not receive adequate interventions during childhood, resulting in chronic occupational and social impairments which seriously reduce the quality of life. This adds confusion to the diagnostic features, as they may present with symptoms suggestive of anxiety or depression, but have other signs and symptoms of complicated ADHD, which has taken its own course. Overall, the occurrence of ADHD with depression is found in about 9-50% of patients.It is important to assess all patients reporting with ADHD for the co-occurrence of primary anxiety disorders or for secondary symptoms of anxiety arising due to the primary ADHD. It is also essential to discriminate between the two so that the primary condition is treated rather than the secondary symptoms. It is known that individuals with both conditions coexisting have a higher risk of suicide, poor job outcomes, and broken relationships, as well as putting a greater cost-burden on society. The distinction may be assisted by the knowledge that fixed depressive affect or suicidal ideation is rare with ADHD per se, which is usually associated with stable moods despite deficits in executive functioning.Some symptoms of ADHD and depression are a lot alike, and that can make it tough to diagnose and treat those conditions. For example, trouble with focus is one of the signs of both depression and ADHD. And if you take medicines to help with your ADHD symptoms, they may affect your sleep or eating habits both of those can be signs of depression, too. In children, hyperactivity and irritability can be symptoms of depression as well as ADHD.Also, ADHD can lead to depression when people have a hard time with their symptoms. Children may have trouble getting along in school or with playmates, or adults may have issues at work. That can lead to deep feelings of hopelessness and other signs of depression.Doctors don't know what causes either condition, but they both seem to be linked to your family history. People with depression or ADHD often have a parent or other family member who has it as well.

Synopsis Adult ADHD by : J.J. Sandra Kooij
Adult ADHD: Diagnostic Assessment and Treatment, Third Edition covers not only diagnostic assessment, but also comorbidity patterns as well as differential diagnosis of ADHD with for example bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. The symptom overlap and misdiagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome in girls and women with the inattentive subtype of ADHD, ADD is explored. The chronic delayed sleep phase syndrome associated with ADHD based on disturbances in the circadian rhythm, and the possible consequences for general health (obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer) are discussed. There are sections on ADHD and intelligence, criminality, sexuality, dyslexia and autism. Adult ADHD can be treated effectively but as yet the disorder is not always recognised by professionals and this book aims to help correct this. Diagnostic tools are included, such as the structured Diagnostic Interview for Adult ADHD (DIVA), and an ultra-short and somewhat longer screening tool, all based on the DSM-IV criteria for ADHD. Treatment options cover psychoeducation and motivation and individual and group coaching; long-acting stimulants and other new drugs for treating ADHD; use of melatonin to treat the delayed sleep-phase disorder. Useful information is included on the setting up and organisation of a department for adult ADHD with a multidisciplinary team. References, websites and useful international addresses have all been updated. Adult ADHD: Diagnostic Assessment and Treatment, Third Edition is intended for students, junior doctors/residents, psychologists, psychiatrists, other mental healthcare professionals and interested parties and provides a quick overview of the current state of the science and of the methods used in diagnosis and treatment. Adult ADHD: Diagnostic Assessment and Treatment, Third Edition was originally published by Pearson Assessment and Information BV, The Netherlands.

Synopsis Getting Unstuck by : Don Kerson
Everyday, thousands of smart, skilled, creative and likeable people find themselves stuck on the road to success in life, because they cant get things done. What theyre experiencing is no short-term or minor problem. It isnt a matter of laziness or lack of ambition. These individuals suffer from a profound inability to move their lives forward. To put it simply, they are stuck. Drawing on more than 20 years experience working with people who were stuck, psychiatrist Don Kerson argues that being stuck is the result of a complex interaction between depression, attention deficit disorder and dissociation (a consequence of childhood trauma). Getting Unstuck provides a groundbreaking first look at this significant, but misunderstood, mental health problem, which has gone unrecognized by the mental health community, until now. It also takes a close look at what is required to successfully treat it.

Synopsis ADHD Does not Exist by : Richard Saul
In this groundbreaking and controversial book, behavioral neurologist Dr. Richard Saul draws on five decades of experience treating thousands of patients labeled with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder—one of the fastest growing and widely diagnosed conditions today—to argue that ADHD is actually a cluster of symptoms stemming from over 20 other conditions and disorders. According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 6.4 million children between the ages of four and seventeen have been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. While many skeptics believe that ADHD is a fabrication of drug companies and the medical establishment, the symptoms of attention-deficit and hyperactivity are all too real for millions of individuals who often cannot function without treatment. If ADHD does not exist, then what is causing these debilitating symptoms? Over the course of half a century, physician Richard Saul has worked with thousands of patients demonstrating symptoms of ADHD. Based on his experience, he offers a shocking conclusion: ADHD is not a condition on its own, but rather a symptom complex caused by over twenty separate conditions—from poor eyesight and giftedness to bipolar disorder and depression—each requiring its own specific treatment. Drawing on in-depth scientific research and real-life stories from his numerous patients, ADHD Does not Exist synthesizes Dr. Saul's findings, and offers and clear advice for everyone seeking answers.

Synopsis The Burden of Adult ADHD in Comorbid Psychiatric and Neurological Disorders by : Stefano Pallanti
This book highlights the importance of investigating for ADHD in adults with attention difficulties, poor memory and executive function impairments. The authors advocate a neurodevelopmental assessment approach in all phases of life, and explain how to perform such assessments. The identification of ADHD in adults with other psychiatric and neurological disorders will lead to a better response to treatments, and as a result reduce its social, economic and personal burden. ADHD can no longer be considered solely a pediatric condition, as it occurs in a significant proportion of adults worldwide. However, ADHD in adults is often unrecognized and untreated. Diagnosing the disorder in adulthood is a challenge, due not only to the different clinical presentation in this phase of life, but also to the fact that other conditions may mask the symptoms. ADHD constitutes a hidden comorbidity with a detrimental impact of those affected, and a poor response (or even non-response) to several treatments. Intended for psychiatrists, neurologists, specialists in gerontology and neuropsychology, this book is an indispensable resource for all mental health practitioners who want to optimize the treatment of patients affected by psychiatric and neurological disorders who respond poorly to standard treatments.
