I, personally, never knew exactly what ADHD meant. Until recently my best friends kid was diagnosed with ADHD. So I started doing my research on the topic and  am so happy I came across Commanding Attention. This book is probably the most complete,  professionally written resource I have found so far. It is also amazingly easy to understand.  The author's information comes from first hand experience and she does a great job to educate patients and parents on the biology and physiology of ADHD as well as the different treatment options.Having read the book, I realize that there is not one single cause of ADHD and there is not one "right" treatment. ADHD is a medical condition that affects everyone in a unique way and therefore for the majority of patients, a combination of treatments is the best solution. I also discovered that even people who respond well to drug therapy may further improve their symptoms with alternative treatments. In fact, I'm  glad to hear that people who face this condition have more ways to deal with like a healthy diet, an active amount of outdoor activities, different behavioural therapies or herbal treatments.I recommend this book not only to people who might be interested with alternative ways to treat ADHD, but also to anyone who needs more insight into this condition.
