About the Book

What is ADHD? What are the symptoms? How are the symptoms treated? Learn about this common behavioral disorder that affects school-age children, some of whom will continue to have the condition as adults. Read about the latest research breakthroughs and most current treatment methods. About the Author: Dr. Alvin Silverstein is a professor of biology at the College of Staten Island, City University of New York Editorial Reviews For libraries whose health materials are dated—as they too quickly become—or whose users find Internet research scattered and fragmented, this Disease Update series provides the latest thinking about the causes and treatments of several common medical conditions.

For libraries that can afford them, nothing could be more helpful for students embarking on a health report, or looking for information about a condition that may affect their own lives or those of friends.

Controversy surrounds the widespread diagnosis of ADHD/ADD, though som
