Women with attention deficit disorder
Embrace Your Differences and Transform Your Life
Book • 1995
This book, written by psychotherapist Sari Solden, addresses the often-overlooked issue of Attention Deficit Disorder (AD/HD) in women.
It explains how millions of women go undiagnosed each year because they do not fit the stereotypical profile of AD/HD, which is often associated with men and hyperactive behavior.
The book delves into treatment and counseling options, uses real-life case histories, and examines the special challenges women with AD/HD face, such as depression, disorganization, anxiety, and underachievement.
A revised edition includes a new chapter on friendship challenges for women with AD/HD and provides three empowering steps: restructuring one's life, renegotiating relationships, and redefining self-image, to help women take control of their lives and achieve success on their own terms.
