Well written

A well-written, but text-heavy book. Includes definitions and case studies of such disorders as ADHD and Tourette's. Discusses the history, risks, and side effects of different drug therapies as well as alternative treatments like special diets and "natural" medicine. Includes an index and additional resources.
