Description
Scattered Minds challenges the long-held assumption that attention deficit disorder is a genetic condition, instead revealing it to be a reversible impairment and developmental delay. Gabor Maté, a renowned physician with personal experience of ADD, shares his expertise and insights to help individuals understand the condition and find hope for healing.
Maté explains that the brain's emotional self-regulation and attention control circuits fail to develop in infancy, leading to the characteristic symptoms of ADD. He also shows how 'distractibility' is the psychological product of life experience, allowing parents to better understand their child's needs and adults with ADD to gain insights into their emotions and behaviours.
With a focus on promoting neurological development in both children and adults, Scattered Minds offers a programme of guidance and support for those affected by ADD. This thought-provoking book presents a new perspective on a condition often misunderstood, and provides a hopeful message for those seeking to overcome its challenges.
