Product Description
With over a quarter million copies in print, You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?! is one of the bestselling books on attention deficit disorder (ADD) ever written. There is a great deal of literature about children with ADD. But what do you do if you have ADD and aren't a child anymore? This indispensable reference -- the first of its kind written for adults with ADD by adults with ADD -- focuses on the experiences of adults, offering updated information, practical how-tos and moral support to help readers deal with ADD. It also explains the diagnostic process that distinguishes ADD symptoms from normal lapses in memory, lack of concentration or impulsive behavior. Here's what's new: - The new medications and their effectiveness
- The effects of ADD on human sexuality
- The differences between male and female ADD -- including falling estrogen levels and its impact on cognitive function
- The power of meditation
- How to move forward with coaching
And the book still includes advice about: - Achieving balance by analyzing one's strengths and weaknesses
- Getting along in groups, at work and in intimate and family relationships -- including how to decrease discord and chaos
- Learning the mechanics and methods for getting organized and improving memory
- Seeking professional help, including therapy and medication

I got this book as a recomnaditon from my dr. This book has shown me different things I didn't know about ADD in adults. I'm really glad I bought this book and I would recommend it to others with ADD.

I received the book in the expected time frame and even though it is a used book it was in very good condition. Binding is good and the pages are not marked giving me the opportunity to make my own choices as to what I feel is important.
Thanks

Great read, I'm in the process, with counselors suggestion - great in sight! The quality of publishing is what I'm giving a low rating, I'm careful with my paperbacks, as I've been reading this book the binding has been separating, poor craftsmanship?

This book changed my life!
I found it on the shelf of a psychiatrist friend and immediately read the whole thing. I took it to my psychologist, where I was not feeling any better after more than a year in therapy, and told him that I was pretty sure I had ADHD. After being tested and thoroughly evaluated, I was diagnosed and it was such a relief!
Excellent book June 28, 2009

This is a very well written book, easy to read and understand. The title caught my eye as I'm sure it was intended and I'm very happy it did. I don't have time to read a lot and I can find anything I need in this one book.
