"With Understanding, There Can Be Hope, Even with ADHD"
In his book HEALING ADD, Dr. Amen tells of how he got into the practice of working with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) patients, and he shares his insights into this condition.

Most authors of ADD books describe it as one condition, or perhaps two types of conditions. Dr. Amen, on the other hand, breaks it down into six different types of disorders and how they affect the patient and those around the patient (a questionnaire that both the individual and someone close to the individual take helps one determine which of the six types of ADD a person may have).

Dr. Amen shows how he has used SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) x-rays to show activity in the brain so that the type of ADD a patient has can be determined. Then, he tells how treatments are based on repeated visits by his patients and adjustments in treatments over several weeks and months.

For me, as someone who has been around people with ADD, this book has given me a greater understanding into this condition. It is not a "how to treat" book, as much as it is a book that explains conditions that contribute to ADD. It has helped me deal with others who have ADD and has made me realize that there are some solutions out there to this condition.

There are a myriad of books on ADD offering treatment suggestions, strategies for handling ADD children, etc. This book helped me understand this condition better than any other I have read on the subject.

"The Best Book on ADD out there"
I was born with ADD. In the 1950's there wasn't a term for it. I did notice my parents had numerous books on hyperactive children, and knew they didn't buy them for my two very normal and grounded sisters.

I own 7 books on this subject but this one really stands out. One reason is the outstanding 71 questionaire that directs you to which of the 6 varities of ADD you may have. This book is worth the price just for this test. It then proceeds to list the many medications that are best suited for each ADD type. Importantly it is written in a clear and concise style.

I just wish the author would update this book as the latest printing is about 5 years old. As such, I bought my copy used via Amazon.

"Healing ADD by Daniel Amen"
This book is an excellent resource for ADD persons and for working with ADD clients. It explains things clearly, talks about the brain and physical evidence for ADD, and offers great information about treatment options and living with ADD. The cognitive therapy section dealing with negative thought processes is strong, and helpful not only for ADD individuals but also for those depressed and struggling with self-esteem. I highly recommend this book.

"ADHD info"
This book was very informative in helping me to learn the etiology of
ADHD and how to deal with it. It gave a laymans term description of the types of ADHD and how to work with each type.
I have purchased it and often refer back to it.

"not impressed"
I was disapoined and not agreedable with a lot that was said in this book. I have ADD the Inattentive type. I just could not grasp it.

What our customer's say!

"Strongly recommend this book", I got this book after seeing Dr. Amen on PBS - the book is very good. He does a great job with the diagnosis of each type of ADD. My son, who is 12, has alwasy been distracted more so than hyper but very oppostional - to find out that there are different "types" or ways ADD manifests with different people was refreshing - you understand more why one medicine works better for some kids better than others. This book is filled with useful scientific info to give you a better understanding of ADD (specifically which you may have) and Dr. Amen's preferred treatment of each.

"A fantastic resource for ADHD", For any parent struggling with their child's ADD or ADHD, this book is a Godsend. It takes great pains to differentiate between the six types of this disorder and then provides concrete steps to help you develop a game plan to deal with your child's particular issues. It really is incredible.

"Not suitable for the Kindle", Amen's book on ADD coupled to SPEC scans makes for some interesting reading. I'm not really sure that a simple SPEC scan and some drugs can solve all the problems he claims he can solve. The brain is not as easily described by simple colors from a $3000+ scan.

Of course, a Kindle has no color! Given that 20% of the book consists of COLOR SPEC scans where the various colors are important I have no idea what the publisher was thinking when they published this book for the Kindle. Buy the book on the Kindle if you must but you'll be sorry. The Kindle version of this book is a waste of money in my opinion.


"Useful but...", The book is readable and informative, but needs to be taken with a grain of salt. The practise discussed is not widely accepted and the author can make money from new converts.

"One Of The Better Ones", This is one of the best books I've read on ADD. Unfortunately the advice for treating ADD is a little vague and contrite. But considering the books that are out there, this was still the best I've found yet.

"Essential book for moving beyond ADD", This books lives up to all the other testimonials. In learning to treat your child, spouse, or self it's encouraging to realize there are 6 types of ADD out there, and the treatment needs to be customized to the type or you won't be successful. Dr. Amen also has a website www.brainplace.com which provides information on the latest studies. For encouragement you should also read Edward Hallowell's books "Driven to Distraction" and "Delivered from Distraction".

"Saved My Life", This book, along with Dr. Amen's Amen Clinic literally saved my life. I was bedridden, and doctors had no idea why my depression medication had stopped working. My counselor suggested this book, and, after getting tested at the Amen Clinic, I was diagnosed with Over-focused ADD. I was put on a personalized treatment program, and I almost immediately became the person I'd wanted to be for the first 19 years of my life. I could go up and talk to strangers, make friends, and not obsess over my anxiety disorder. I am now 22, and this book still helps me continue my healing process. If I could, I would give it way more than 5 stars.

"The absolute final word on keeping a tight leash on ADD/ADHD!", Before I found this book, I read a couple of other self-help ADD books to get a better handle on mine. It wasn't until I saw this one and got curious about the 6 types, so I picked it up. It convinced me that all other ADD books are exactly the same. That is, they only touch base on the 2 conventional issues: Psychological and Social. This book on the other hand, introduces a third study: Biological (brain studies). Dr. Amen's expertise in general and his SPECT (a unique physical scan that looks for abnormally underactive and overactive brain activity) studies helps eliminate the chance of mis-diagnosis, which can drastically reduce symptoms so the sufferer can move ahead with his or her life. After running through the book several times over the course of a few months and recalling the discussion of my symptoms and genetic history with a psych a few years before for a diagnosis, I came to the conclusion last month that I was a Type 4: Temporal Lobe sufferer. With that said, I immediately started looking over the treatment options section and since then I've been taking the right supplements along with the recommended proper diet and intense exercise. I can easily say that I feel a WHOLE LOT BETTER!! My friends and family have told me that I'm like a whole different person now. They've noticed that I'm no longer moody and irritable, and my inattentiveness and impulsiveness have been reduced to near-nothing. Life doesn't seem so miserable anymore. I wake up everyday looking forward to facing the world and being positive. Just out of curiousity, I'd like to go The Amen Clinic for a SPECT evaluation, but it doesn't look like it'll be necessary. My friends with ADD now want to do what I did to improve their life. I want to personally thank Dr. Amen. The word needs to be spread around about his very unique brain studies!

"4 Moms...", I also purchased this book for my mother. She says, This book is wonderful. It was a great help in understanding my younger sister.

"Worth reading", Even my science trained husband found this book well written and thought provoking. Since ADHD runs all through to grandchildren, we are looking into Amen's suggestions.
