Summary
The ADHD label had been rampantly overused on children with completely different problems when the controversial first edition of ADHD was praised by practitioners and parents alike as a timely book whose message was long overdue. This new edition includes a complete revision of the chapter on medication, detailing when to use certain drugs and the side effects that can be expected, and including a thorough review and update of older medications. Special problems for teenagers with ADHD are addressed, including sexual relationships, pregnancy, substance abuse, driving, and general teen attitudes. Material has been added to help parents find their way through the legal maze of public education where children are often wrongly first stigmatized with the ADHD label.

Critics Review
Every parent and every teacher will need personal copies they can dog-ear and highlight. – Margaret Carr, M.Ed., Executive Vice President of Learning Disabilities of Texas
Haber advises parents to be cautious and patient and clearly explains other problems that have similiar symptoms. He also explores drug companies’ marketing campaigns that he believes led to so many misdiagnoses. Most importantly, Haber explains the different treatments available and suggests ways to find a good clinician. – Pam Lilley * Cleveland Plain Dealer *
This book is a comprehensive, avuncular, discussion of the incresing frequency with which children are diagnosed or misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The information is solid and potentially very helpful. * Infodad.Com *
Haber explodes myths, relays much scientific information, and makes many practical suggestions. * Booklist *
