Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder

Revealing the true roots and remedies of ADD.

If you've ever felt misunderstood by the label of ADD or have a loved one struggling with it, "Scattered Minds" could offer you a new perspective. Dr. Gabor Mate, who has firsthand experience with ADD, dissects the conventional understanding of the condition, and crafts a narrative that's both enlightening and hopeful. By linking life experiences to neurological development, he provides not just understanding but also practical steps for healing at any age. This book is special because it humanizes ADD, transforming it from a life sentence to a journey of growth.

Description

Scattered Minds explodes the myth of attention deficit disorder as genetically based – and offers real hope and advice for children and adults who live with the condition. Gabor Maté is a revered physician who specializes in neurology, psychiatry and psychology – and himself has ADD. With wisdom gained through years of medical practice and research, Scattered Minds is a must-read for parents – and for anyone interested in how experiences in infancy shape the biology and psychology of the human brain. Scattered Minds demonstrates that ADD is not an inherited illness, but a reversible impairment and developmental delay. It explains that in ADD, circuits in the brain whose job is emotional self-regulation and attention control fail to develop in infancy – and why. The book shows how ‘distractibility’ is the psychological product of life experience, allowing parents to understand what makes their ADD children tick, and adults with ADD to gain insights into their emotions and behaviours. It expresses optimism about neurological development even in adulthood and presents a programme of how to promote this development in both children and adults.
