ADHD and Its Many Associated Problems

ADHD and Its Many Associated Problems by Christopher Gillberg is a comprehensive and authoritative guide for understanding Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and its frequent co-occurring conditions. Written by one of the world’s leading child psychiatrists, this book explores ADHD not as an isolated disorder but as part of a wider spectrum of neurodevelopmental challenges.

Gillberg introduces the ESSENCE framework (Early Symptomatic Syndromes Eliciting Neurodevelopmental Clinical Examinations), which emphasizes the importance of early recognition and holistic assessment of children showing signs of ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, learning difficulties, and emotional or behavioral problems.

This essential resource provides:
✔ Evidence-based insights into the biology, genetics, and psychology of ADHD
✔ Practical strategies for clinicians, teachers, and parents to support children at school and at home
✔ Guidance on recognizing and managing comorbidities such as anxiety, depression, Tourette’s syndrome, dyslexia, and conduct problems
✔ A roadmap for early intervention to improve long-term outcomes

Perfect for psychiatrists, psychologists, pediatricians, school counselors, educators, and parents, this book bridges the gap between research and real-world practice, offering actionable knowledge to help children with ADHD succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.

If you are looking for a scientifically grounded ADHD book that addresses both diagnosis and management, ADHD and Its Many Associated Problems is an invaluable reference.
