If you've been diagnosed with ADD (or ADHD) or even think you have it, you MUST buy and read this book! It has changed my life. I bought this copy to re-read it (cause I give them away). Gabor Mate is a brilliant psychiatrist who has ADD himself and this gives him a unique and very qualified perspective. Clinically his specialty is treating addictions; not just substance abuse but other compulsive addictions, like shopaholics, which he himself suffers from. What he found was that there's a connection - it's common for those with ADD to have addictive problems as well. As evidenced there's much compelling data that indicates that it has it's origins are in very early childhood. Mate is not just qualified but he's a very compelling writer, you won't put it down.
