Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder Paperback – February 7, 2023

Oh my goodness- I’ve read many ADD books- this author is different and in my opinion spot on. Totally would recommend unlike all the other books I’ve read and wouldn’t recommend. This has given me insight to my son’s brain and why he does what he does along with my own behaviors. Very enlightening. Highly recommend!

Amazing book. My son doesn't have ADHD, but I learned so much about him in this book. It also is good to see that the parenting method matches with another parenting method " Love and Logic".I have been reading so many books to be a good parent and learning so much about myself and my son.Mental health doesn't get much talked about or gets addressed in the state of Colorado. So I guess self help and reading is the way to find support and thank goodness for friends.

This book completely changed my view on the human experience! It has opened my mind to a new level of understanding!

There are a few things in this book that feel utterly dated (it was written 20+ years ago), but other than that, it’s been an important book for understanding my own ADHD journey in adulthood.It helps connect habits to genetics and habitat while ensuring the information about how and why ADHD people are the way they are is respectful and logical.Very easy to digest and I highly recommend this book for adult learning about their own ADHD and for parents especially with children or adult children with ADHD.

Excellent detail on the true story of ADD and impact on life.Dr. Gabor Mate is a renowned speaker and author, but to be honest, it is difficult for me to listen to him speak. His content is wonderful but his delivery is not smooth and some of the most important words are lost. However.... this book and his others are so helpful and his expertise is evident.I am a behavioral health provider, and this book is helpful with students, teachers, physicians, adults with ADD, and anyone that comes in contact with them. I first read this book about 4 years ago, and I keep having to replace it as I give it away or loan it.

The book came promptly and in great condition.

People in field criticize this..then theh all need retraining. Drugs are not tbd answer..the drug trade is a racket . WITH ADD this spoke to me..all meds did was destroy my ability to remember moment to moment.

This book is incredible! This is a must-read for anyone! While technically about ADHD, it is really an analysis of the stressors (and effects of that stress) on the modern western family. It also includes insight to the systemic problems in psychiatry today, what psychiatry can and cannot do, and what to look for in a psychiatrist. It is full of rich information about parenting and is a must-read for any parent. I have read a lot about ADHD and have found SCATTERED MINDS to be the best book I've read on the topic thus far. It has been a great tool for living life with ADHD. Reading this book was honestly a whole spiritual experience.
