ADHD Comorbidities: Handbook for ADHD Complications in Children and Adults

Attention Deficit Disorders and Comorbidities in Children, Adolescents and Adults

Edited by Thomas E. Brown, Ph.D.
Washington, DC: American Psychiatric Press, 2009

Many books address various aspects of ADHD—but only ADHD Comorbidities: Handbook for ADHD Complications in Children and Adults comprehensively describes the multiple ways in which other psychiatric and learning disorders complicate ADHD in both children and adults.

This practical book features comprehensive, research-based information on ADHD and its full range of comorbidities—including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, learning disorders, substance abuse, sleep disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism spectrum disorders, oppositionality and aggression, Tourette syndrome, and developmental coordination disorder.

The book offers a new paradigm for understanding ADHD, viewing it not as a simple behavior disorder, but as a complex developmental impairment of executive function, the management system of the brain. In accessible language, more than 30 researcher-clinician contributors summarize how to recognize ADHD and its comorbidities at various stages of development, from preschool age to adolescence to adulthood. Clinicians will find practical help—and acquire valuable guidance on tailoring medications and other interventions—to optimize treatment outcomes for patients of all ages with complex cases of ADHD.
