Everything about ADHD in adolescents is here in one place. This book is for you: a clinician diagnosing and treating teens with ADHD, a teacher educating teens with ADHD, or a parent raising one. Written for all readers, this resource is both comprehensive and straightforward, with quick tips and concise guidance in each chapter. Now in its fully revised and expanded second edition, this text includes three distinct sections that explore essential aspects of ADHD in adolescents. The first section provides detailed yet accessible best-practices of diagnosis and treatment. The second section takes a deep dive into the many disorders that mimic and co-occur with ADHD. The final and third section focuses on critical topics related to adolescent ADHD: the all new chapter on Girls and ADHD, along with the hard to find chapters on Race, Culture, and Ethnicity in ADHD, as well as Relationships, Sexuality, and Sexual Behavior in Adolescents with ADHD. Across all three sections, clinical scenarios mirror common dilemmas faced by parents and teachers, and recurrent challenges familiar to clinicians. Information and resources direct the reader to best practices in ADHD in adolescents, with useful strategies usable for everyone.
