For Adults with ADD (ADHD)

 
Odd One Out

The Disorganized Mind: Coaching Your AD/HD Brain to Take Control of Your Time, Tasks, and Talents

by Nancy Ratey

$24.95

Here is a life coach in book form to help you overcome the inattention, disorganization, and impulsivity that gets in the way of their getting things done. What follows is both a practical guide to taking control of the symptoms with which individuals with ADHD struggle, and an inspirational summons to believe with the author that living a rich and balanced life -- "a life you love" -- is possible. By providing anecdotes from real life, and by citing strategies that she and her clients have devised to cope with their ADHD, Ms. Ratey demonstrates how readers can compensate for the specific attention inconsistencies their ADHD brains manifest, and reduce or eliminate the burdens they, and consequently their families, so often bear. There's no magic, she insists. But there is choice. The book makes a compelling case for choosing Nancy Ratey's coaching techniques as the first step of the life-changing journey ahead.

Pieces of a Puzzle: The Link Between Eating Disorders and ADD

by Carolyn Piver Dukarm, MD

$16.95

People suffer daily from the symptoms of eating disorders. For some, however, eating is not the only area of their life that is out-of-control. In this book, Dr. Carolyn Piver Dukarm, an eating disorders specialist, focuses on the overlap between eating disorders and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and points out how diagnosing and treating both disorders can provide the missing piece of the puzzle that holds the key to recovery for many individuals.

Divided into six sections, covering the spectrum from diagnosis to treatment of both disorders, each section contains "guidelines" or specific action steps that the reader can take. Participation is encouraged through directed questions and exercises.

Sections include:

  • Diagnosis of eating disorders and attention deficit disorder
  • Finding the motivation to recover
  • Nutrition as an important part of the treatment
  • Medication and supplements
  • Restructuring your life to better deal with both issues
  • Comprehensive Guidelines for Health Care Professionals

Plan for Success
by Joyce Kubik, AD/HD Coach & Skills Trainer

How is Plan For Success program on CD different? First, it is a planning-journal that has the following elements: a clean design without the clutter of pithy sayings or all the little things placed on the page to draw our attention away from planning, weekly project-planning worksheets, and journal pages to use for meetings or class notes, or simply to write your fleeting thoughts. You'll also find a small parking lot to drop those ideas that pop into your head at inopportune times, and three monthly overviews at a time. But the most valuable part of the Plan For Success program is a time-scheduling page where you realistically plan the days events.
Print out as many pages that you want manage at one time and save... save... save... because there is no need to buy a new planner every year.

The innovative, even revolutionary approach advocated by the authors opens up a whole new realm of strategies for living successfully with this disorder. The book includes a succinct review of what we know about ADD and how to identify and treat it, extensive lists of references and resources, and a workbook to help the reader identify their own best fidget strategies.
