Scattered Minds
The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder
Book • 2023
In this book, Dr. Gabor Maté argues that Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD) is not a genetic 'illness' but a response to environmental stress.
He explains that the brain circuits responsible for emotional self-regulation and attention control fail to develop in infancy due to life experiences.
The book provides insights for parents to understand their ADD children and for adults with ADD to gain insights into their emotions and behaviors.
It presents a program to promote neurological development in both children and adults, emphasizing the role of social and emotional environments in both the cause and cure of the condition.
