The Adderall Empire: A Life with ADHD and the Millennials' Drug of Choice de Andrew K. Smith

The Adderall Empire: A Life with ADHD and the Millennials' Drug of Choice

Autor Andrew K. Smith
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 iun 2014
Is there life after Adderall?
Andrew K. Smith's hooligan pranks and social impulsiveness paints a picture of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) before medication, and it would seem that the little orange pills could cure his mischief. But readers will furrow their brows as they enter "The Adderall Empire," traveling with the author through the chemically conflicting mind states. Is working-memory training a feasible alternative? Readers will beg for the answer, hoping Andrew stops getting into trouble before his parents disown him or he winds up in jail. Again.
Everyone is curious about Adderall. Young people abuse it, adults are addicted to it, teachers wish their students would take it, and parents consider prescriptions for their children. "The Adderall Empire" gives honest evidence of how working-memory training can change the life of a person with ADHD and provides readers with information about an alternative to ADHD prescriptions.
