Causes of attention deficit disorder and ways to treat it

Author's Name: Dr. Gabor Maté

Dr. Gabor Maté is a renowned physician and best-selling author. He himself has attention deficit disorder (ADD). In his book, *Mischievous Minds*, he examines the myth of a genetic origin for the disorder, offering real hope and sound advice to both children and adults with the disorder. By demonstrating that ADHD is not an inherited, lifelong genetic condition, but rather a reversible disorder, this book enables parents to understand the feelings and behaviors of their children with the disorder and enables adults with the disorder to become more aware of their own feelings and behaviors. Based on years of clinical practice and numerous studies and research, this book is a must-read for parents of children with ADHD, and for anyone interested in understanding how early childhood experiences shape the biological and psychological makeup of the human brain.
