Written by expert professionals, this book provides comprehensive information about available support for women and girls with ADHD and tips for clinicians and professionals who work with them.
The symptoms of ADHD are no less impairing in females than males, but can be missed or misunderstood. This book arms professionals, parents, and women themselves as it maps out where to go for information, who can help and how to understand ADHD better. It explains routes to assessment and diagnosis for girls and young women, how to access support in education, available treatments, and the impact of living with ADHD on overall mental health. It explores the benefits of ADHD coaching for girls to help develop their unique strengths and talents. There is also a focus on ADHD diagnosis for women in adulthood and specific advice about treatment and medication for later in life. Central to the book are the personal experiences of ADHD from women and girls from a variety of backgrounds. These tell of late diagnosis, missed opportunities, a lifetime of adaptations and the power of recognition and treatment and are powerful stories for professionals and individuals with ADHD alike.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Jessica Kingsley PublishersISBN-13:9781787754003ISBN-10:1787754006UPC:9781787754003Book Category:PsychologyBook Subcategory:PsychopathologyBook Topic:Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD-ADHD)Size:8.90 x 6.00 x 0.80 inchesWeight:1.15Product ID:SC00K4CD9W
