This took me way too long to get through, considering I borrowed it in November and it's almost March. Ah, ADHD, don't you just love it?

This is so far the most useful book I've read on ADHD. I should have started with this one. The chapters were short, which was nice.
Jan 27, 2016Michele rated it it was amazing
I wish I had read this three years ago. This has become an invaluable resource for me in getting a gameplan together to manage my son's ADHD. I recommend this for anyone with a child who has trouble in the classroom. It doesn't touch on any learning disabilities, but gives plenty of arrows to point you in the right direction.

Sep 01, 2016Heidi Belleau added it · review of another edition
I wasn't so keen on this book. There were a few helpful suggestions and I liked the breakdown of medications and explanation of how they work, but a lot of the book just wasn't relevant to my experience. There was a huge portion dedicated to 'do you have adhd' and how to be diagnosed, which is a stage I am already past, and then there was a significant amount of time spent on much more severe effects of impulsiveness such as drug use, criminality, being unable to manage your temper/speak to othe..more
Nov 21, 2013Keith rated it did not like it · review of another edition
This book is a good example of lying with statistics. The author ignores the known obvious causes of ADHD and comes up with unproven claims that ADHD is caused by brain development problems or general chemical unbalances. At the same time he's a big fan of diagnosing ADHD with the 'evaluation process', but he fails to mention that these questionnaires claim over 85% of people have ADHD. So by his logic over 85% of people have a chemical imbalance or an underdeveloped brain. He doesn't put these..more

Hm. Don't know where to start on this one. Some chapters were certainly worth it. Others were very clinical and scary. Lots of statistics to make it Loud and Clear what kids and parents are up against. It was a good cautionary tale in some respects, validations about some of the things I'm already doing in other respects..and some good basic medical information. But, as a good friend reminded me recently, this isn't the book that is going to give me hope. This book will give me facts and truths..more

As someone with Adult ADHD I found this book very helpful. If your looking to learn more, are newly diagnosed, or have it all your life, this is the book for you.
It gives a detailed description of ADHD, the problems it causes, treatment options, and management strategies. There are sections that you can write in and put in your thoughts and experiences. In this way it acts as a work book.

Very insightful for me, an adult with ADHD. I just wish he didn't push being medicated as such a strong course of action. I also don't agree with the theory that it's caused by an underdevelopment in the brain, a chemical imbalance, while it might be considered an underdevelopment, is much more comforting. Otherwise it answered several questions and life experiences that had been left a mystery, for me, for years. For example: ADHD is a form of blindness..time blindness.

This book is like the Bible of ADHDers. I’m so glad I came across this and I wish I had read it years ago. Really helped me off the roller coaster. Dr. Russel Barkley is so smart and amazing. The book is great.

Very insightful book for adults with ADHD. However, I find it a double edged sword as I desire to implement the ideas as an adult with ADHD which makes the task daunting, overwhelming and of course very half hazard..what is one to do?

What a depressing book it was.
Basically it says: “OK, so you have ADHD. Sucks to be you. Go through this huge laundry list of these and those things to do, don’t forget to take your medication, find a mentor — assuming anybody will want to deal with you, and who could blame them? — and if you are extremely lucky, and with heavy effort, maybe you can become half a normal man or woman who runs through all of this effortlessly, which you’ll never be. What a burden to society!”

Written by an actual medical specialist and not some dweeb that talks about 'toxins' in their mental health clickbait article. It's a very relatable and helpful book with tons of good advice and strategies. Basically the ADHD Bible. Don't treat this like a textbook. If you put it down, come back to it after a while. Skip the chapters that don't apply to you. Do the activities and reflections and then reflect on your progress when you go back to the book after accidentally forgetting about it for..more

(Review originally posted at The ADHD Homestead.)
Dr. Russell Barkley’s Taking Charge of Adult ADHD provides a rundown of adult ADHD basics that’s comprehensive, yet easy to read.
That said, I took it at a sluggish pace. It’s informative, conversational, and approachable, but the language often feels overwordy. I’m okay with this because the book’s true value isn’t in a one-time, sequential reading, but in the many times I’ll pull it off the shelf for reference. Taking Charge offers a wealth of..more

Best book that I've read on this topic. Recent science, excellent advice. One downside for me: less attention (ha!) to inattentive type than to hyperactive and combined types. Barkley is a blunt guy, calling the myths about ADHD 'fallacies' and those holding them to be 'scientifically illiterate.' This is also the first book I've read that addresses the true seriousness of ADHD, that even the term ADHD (which he thinks should be changed) 'trivializes the disorder, since it grossly understates th..more
Apr 25, 2012Katie rated it it was ok
Although there are some good chapters in this book, I found that the author assumed all children with ADHD had oppositional defiance disorder (ODD) and a large portion of this book was dedicated to behavior modification and increasing compliance. This book sets out to educate parents about ADHD, but it seems a bit misinformed about all aspects of the disorder. I did appreciate the chapters on how the medications work, and all the options available.
I didn't like that they stuck fast to commonly used medical terms, like 'minimal brain dysfunction' and 'ADHD' even though not all cases of ADD include Hyperactivity, however I was extremely grateful for the medical explanations of what causes the inattention and for the many tips on how to use positive reinforcement to encourage attention and proper behavior.
This is the bible of ADHD resources. I appreciate how thorough it is, and how the author cites references and dates for every study, fact, or statistic. If you have a child with ADHD, this is a must read, must highlight, must memorize passages. There is a third edition out, and I highly recommend getting the most recent edition, as ADHD research is advancing all the time!

Absolutely one of the most useful books on ADHD that I have read. As someone who has already been diagnosed and started treatment, not all of the information was relevant to me, but I believe the sections on evaluation and treatment would be very helpful for someone who was still considering getting evaluated and/or whether to try medication.
Sections 2 and 4 were the most helpful for me. Section 2 (Change Your Mindset: Know and Own Your ADHD) helped me to gain a better big picture understanding..more

fantastic ADHD resource. I'm definitely a fact-based/science person, and if there's a why behind anything I want to know it. Some may feel this reads a bit like a text book, which it does at times, but, the information is valuable. As a parent without ADHD raising a child with ADHD there is so much to understand about this disorder & the disorders that can come along with ADHD that I never understood or knew because it wasn't a part of my life.

The first third of the book was pretty good: insightful, not too bogged down, explained multiple aspects well, information that is glossed over or not explained in other texts.. then the book got really repetitive for a while. It picked back up a bit at the end in discussing the medications.

I think this book provides a great overview of adult ADHD, causes, treatments, and ways to combat ADHD that doesn't involve medications.
The author continuously refers to steps, but it's hard to follow them in the book. The chapters are varied in length, which makes the book easier to read.
The author also emphasizes owning ADHD, which is important to make progress. It helps alleviate feelings of guilt someone may have been carrying around for things that have gone wrong in life.

This seems like a good guide for someone who is new to the idea of having ADHD as an adult. Most of the book is taken up with explaining what ADHD is and how it affects adults, and persuading the reader to a) be evaluated for it, b) get medicated for it, and c) get professional help for it, none of which I personally needed to be sold on.
I found the one section of the book that laid out actual rules/strategies for managing ADHD to be interesting and potentially helpful, though!

This is definitely a complete guide to adhd. It has everything you could want to know plus lots more resources to continue the journey. I haven't yet implemented the behavior program he recommends, but have high hopes for it. I would definitely recommend this book for parents of kids with adhd. I found it so informative and helpful.

I highly recommend this book for any parents of a child with ADHD. Dr. Barkley does an amazing job explaining the most current research on ADHD and helping parents to critically analyze the research we're bombarded with. He really focuses on developing skills parents will need to successfully raise a child with ADHD and in helping us to understand what life for our kids will be like.

This was an excellent book.
However, I found that some of the suggestions for how to manage ADHD to be unrealistic - I wouldn't be able to do some of the things mentioned and I don't have ADHD and when I told my partner (who has minor ADHD and is being medically treated) about them he laughed. That being said there is a lot of good info and good suggestions in the book.

This book is the bible of ADHD
Technical, yes, but also very clear.
It delves in great detail on the medical side of ADHD which is good if you are interested in that aspect.
However treating ADHD is about the pills and the skills aspect of ADHD.
So more life skills tips would be appreciated in the next edition.

Russell A. Barkley (born 1949) is a clinical psychologist who is a clinical professor of psychiatry at the Medical University of South Carolina and an author of books on ADHD.

“Back in the 1990s, research that looked at how ADHD affected teenagers at work concluded that they did pretty much as well as other teenagers. Maybe, it seemed, the symptoms interfered mainly in educational settings and we didn’t need to worry so much about jobs. We now know that’s not true. As the last quote above attests, ADHD can hurt you even more at work than it has at school. The problem with those 15-year-old studies is that they failed to take into account the types of jobs adolescents usually hold: unskilled, part time, and temporary. Working at a local rec center, fast-food joint, or car wash doesn’t demand a lot of attention, thought, or persistence. Maybe ADHD really wouldn’t interfere much.” — 0 likes
