Review: The best book on AD(H)D I have read - Beautifully written, ahead of its time, and aligned with the latest research on trauma, and attachment. It helps provide a lens to destigmatize this misunderstood condition, and a way to begin to release shame to begin to heal. As a licensed clinical social worker, this book rings true throughout from my professional experience treating clients with AD(H)D, as well as my own experience with the diagnosis. This book is not about blaming parenting, it is about understanding how secure attachment, interpersonal trauma, and stress impact people's ability to focus, find intrinsic motivation, and connect to others. This is a must read for anyone who is curious about understanding the human condition, but it is especially helpful if you have been diagnosed with AD(H)D, or know someone who struggles with the ability to focus, stay motivated, and/or connect to others. If you take the leap, it is vital you keep an open mind, and stay present with curious compassion. I hope others find love and healing through this book.
Review: Understand the roots of ADD/ADHD, discover your true self - Highly recommend! I learned so much about myself and why I felt so alien and "too sensitive" and out of focus during much of my life. A fresh, honest, and compassionate approach to understanding ADD from professional and personal experience. Author explains concepts through real-life anecdotes and personal stories. Read this if you truly want to understand why we get ADD: rooted in early childhood experiences when we may have been emotionally neglected by our stressed-out parents, even if they meant well. This book isn't about blaming parents or society, but on understanding the causes so we can heal properly, grow, learn to self-regulate and discover our true selves underneath our ADD symptoms.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very important read
*by M***_ on October 29, 2021*

My therapist suggested I read this. It’s been eye opening and has helped me connect some very important dots in my life and my upbringing and the person I am today. Gabor Maté’s writing style is eloquent and flows smoothly and is easy for most people to understand without a degree in psych. Most importantly, it’s helped me figure out next steps to talking to a psychiatrist to get proper treatment. Even if you yourself don’t have ADD, I think this is still an important read if you have someone close to you who does such as a child, spouse, or family member. It will help you understand them better. And then let them borrow it because it will help them understand themselves better. It’s definitely a valuable tool.
