Scattered Minds by Dr Gabor Maté

PAPERBACK

Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder by Dr. Gabor Maté is a compassionate and paradigm-shifting exploration of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) that challenges the conventional view of it as a purely genetic or medical condition.Drawing from his own experience as both a physician and someone with ADD, Dr. Maté argues that the disorder is not an inherited illness but a developmental delay rooted in early childhood experiences, particularly the disruption of emotional attunement between child and caregiver. He emphasizes that ADD is a reversible impairment, not a lifelong sentence, and that healing is possible through understanding, connection, and supportive environments
