The Breakthrough Program that Allows You to See and Heal the 7 Types of ADD

This book is extremely helpful in understanding the different types of ADHD, symptoms and possible interventions that work to help ADHD sufferers. I found it educational and appreciated the 'healing' aspects of the book.

I agree with reviewer Jon Owens that anyone could see him or herself as possibly having ADD after reading this book. And do a quick web search to see what Dr. Amen's detractors say. However, I think the typology is helpful, as are the common sense suggestions re diet and exercise (as if we need more reasons). Certainly parent or child feelings of "Just try harder" or "I'm stupid" could be put to rest by this book, and that alone is invaluable. Since a brain scan is expensive and not without risk, suggest trying the first Amen Solution Master Questionnaire (available here at the store, new or used) and then go from there.

Excellent book for anyone who has a member of the family or for self to identify what ADD is and how many different characteristics it has. So much has been discovered about ADD and Dr. Amen has done excellent studying on this subject.

This is a very good book, especially in the suggestions offered. Some of this is a bit like an infomercial but if you discriminate the content, you should be able to acquire important information concerning ADD.

Very good book that helped us recognize a problem with one of our adult children. That child is now taking medication and their life has turned around for them. Recommend if you think someone in your family, or you, have ADD.

Excelent overview of ADD symptoms and experience from different people I am pretty sure that I have this. Even I will try to follow the step of this book to heal ADD is possible that I will need a neurologist.

I have terrible ADD. I was diagnosed by a Psychiatrist who was talking to my wife and suddenly turned to me and said, "You know you have ADD?" She got me in for a brain-mapping and I had electrodes stuck to my head and was asked to solve some problems on a computer screen. Yup. ADD. Pretty severe.

But although she knew her stuff very well, she wasn't able to tell me half what Dr. Amen does in his book on the subject. Daniel Amen is cutting edge. I now know the exact kind of ADD I have, and what I can be doing to deal with it effectively without drugs. It must be working or I'd never have finished this review.

My brother had an addiction problem and was researching changing the brain. In reading one of Dr. Amen's books on changing the brain he encountered the chapter about the ADD brain and had an epiphany. We ordered this book. Although there were other factors that played into it, this book helped him identify other methods of changing his behaviors - his brain. He is now 2 months completely drug and alcohol free, and going strong. It has been 20 years since he has gone this long completely clean. This book made a difference. It helped him build a tool-set that he could apply to make the cravings manageable.

I enjoyed reading the book, especially since I have adult ADD. I was expecting more of an actual program to follow more than just references to programs available. I did find the area on herbal and naturals supplements very interesting and the part that talks about certain foods to eat to help control the symptoms of ADD.
