In Scattered Minds, Gabor Maté writes poignantly about ADHD, drawing on his own experience with Attention Deficit Disorder to help those who struggle with inattention, impulsivity, and emotional overwhelm. The book is particularly powerful because it combines his personal experience of living with ADHD with insights from psychology, neurology, and child development. Maté argues that ADHD is shaped primarily by environmental influences, offering an alternative perspective to the view that it is predominantly genetically based.
