Gender Issues and AD/HD: Research, Diagnosis, and Treatment Reviews

Gender Issues and AD/HD: Research, Diagnosis, and Treatment





Gender Issues and AD/HD: Research, Diagnosis, and Treatment, edited by Patricia Quinn, M.D. and Kathleen Nadeau, Ph.D., is the first clinical guide to diagnosis and treatment of women with AD/HD. Bringing together many highly regarded specialists in AD/HD â€" both researchers and clinicians â€" Drs. Nadeau and Quinn have organized an in-depth resource for clinicians. Several important topics unique to women are addressed that have received little attention elsewhere, including the need to rethink DSM-IV diagnostic criteria, the impact of hormones upon AD/HD in women, the use of medications during pregnancy, and the range of coexisting conditions that complicate and often mask AD/HD in women. A structured AD/HD Self-Assessment Symptom Inventory for women, the SASI, is introduced in this volume as a tool to help clinicians consider important gender related issues during the diagnostic process. This volume will be an invaluable resource for clinicians who seek to accurately diagnose and effectively treat women with AD/HD.
