This book is an amazing resource for anyone looking for alternative methods of dealing with ADHD.There are many people who are categorically "against ADHD drugs" and one of the things that has always bugged me is that they have this black and white opinion that is not based on anything at all. This book provides actual, objective, non-hysterical evidence of both the benefits and the potential pitfalls of ADHD drug therapy.This is not an "anti-medication" book. This is a professionally written, honest, and empirical look at alternative treatments for the sufferers of ADHD. At points it's even funny. It has anecdotes that make it a joy to read compared to most of the non-fiction that I'm used to. It also shows research studies that can actually be used as evidence (so many sources of alternative ADHD treatment tend to use the anecdotes as the only evidence. This book does not make that mistake.) This book provides the reader with many ADHD treatment options and the expert advice to use them effectively.I would recommend this book to anyone looking for more tools to deal with their own or their children's ADHD or for professionals looking for a readable and empirical guide to understanding the benefits and science behind a wide range of other ADHD treatments.This is a book that will be staying on my kindle for reference.
