Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD\/ADHD) has remained a controversial topic in recent years. Whereas other books on the subject describe the condition as inherited, Dr. Mat\u00e9 shows how our social and emotional environments play a key role in both the cause of and cure for the condition. In Scattered Minds, he describes the painful realities of ADD\/ADHD and its effect on children as well as on careers and social paths in adults. While acknowledging that genetics may indeed play a part in predisposing a person toward ADD\/ADHD, Mat\u00e9 moves beyond that to focus on the things we can control: changes in environment, family dynamics, and parenting choices. He draws heavily on his own experience with the disorder, as both an ADD sufferer and the parent of three diagnosed children. Providing a thorough overview of ADD\/ADHD and its treatments, Scattered Minds is essential and life-changing reading for the millions of ADD\/ADHD sufferers in North America today.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
