The ADHD Advantage
by Dale Archer
Overview
ADHD is a condition that includes difficulty with attention, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity. Over the last few decades, there has been a surge in the number of ADHD cases, resulting in widespread misdiagnosis and misunderstanding of the complex disorder.
Dr. Dale Archer, a New York Times best-selling author, is a board-certified psychiatrist with ADHD. As a distinguished fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, Archer focuses on breaking down the social stigmas surrounding ADHD and its treatments.
The ADHD Advantage explores the increasing levels of over-diagnosis, today's pill-popping culture, and how people with ADHD can make their symptoms work for them rather than suppressing them with medication.
