Scattered Minds

Drawing on the wisdom gained through years of medical practice and scientific research, Scattered Minds is an essential book for parents – and for anyone else interested in how childhood experiences shape the biological and psychological aspects of the human brain.
Dr Gabor Maté is a respected physician and bestselling author who has himself been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD). In Scattered Minds, he explores the myth of ADD as a genetically inherited illness – and offers hope and practical advice for children and adults living with the condition.
Showing that ADD is not an inherited disease but a repairable impairment and developmental delay, Scattered Minds enables parents to understand what motivates their children with ADD, and adults with ADD to understand more about their own feelings and behaviour.
