Book Reviews of Understanding Women With AD/HD
Book Review: A Broad View of Many Aspects of AD/HD in Women
Summary: 4 Stars
Nadeau and Quinn have assembled a number of clinicians to write on many aspects of AD/HD in women. These issues include hormonal changes, motherhood, and career planning. The book discusses both medication and non-medication treatments in detail. There are chapters on how diagnosis of AD/HD in women, medical issues for women with AD/HD, how to get social and occupational support, and related conditions such as depression. There are useful sections for women at different stages of their lives.
The editors include their own view on the diagnosis of AD/HD in women. they take a much broader view of AD/HD than what is included in the standard DSM diagnostic definitions.
The articles are generally interesting and readable for the general public. The chapters are arranged by topic. This makes it easy for the reader to pick out the subjects that she finds particularly relevant.
The authors discuss proven treatments, but also discuss treatments that have not yet been shown effective in rigorous studies. The book was published in early 2002. Since then there have been new published studies on the effects of hormone replacement on older women.
All in all, the book does a good job of showing the varied experiences of women with AD/HD. Many women weill find themselves described here.
