## Description

Scattered Minds explodes the myth of attention deficit disorder as genetically based – and offers real hope and advice for children and adults who live with the condition. Gabor Maté is a revered physician who specializes in neurology, psychiatry and psychology – and himself has ADD. With wisdom gained through years of medical practice and research, Scattered Minds is a must-read for parents – and for anyone interested how experiences in infancy shape the biology and psychology of the human brain.
Scattered Minds
:
- Demonstrates that ADD is not an inherited illness, but a reversible impairment and developmental delay
- Explains that in ADD, circuits in the brain whose job is emotional self-regulation and attention control fail to develop in infancy – and why
- Shows how ‘distractibility’ is the psychological product of life experience
- Allows parents to understand what makes their ADD children tick, and adults with ADD to gain insights into their emotions and behaviours
- Expresses optimism about neurological development even in adulthood
- Presents a programme of how to promote this development in both children and adults

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant book! Every parent must read it.
*by K***N on 3 November 2025*

It is a very helpful book and IMO everyone should read it. You will learn so much about your mind, your thought patterns, emotions. It will help you reflect on your day to day experiences and why you do things certain way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good read
*by V***H on 13 January 2025*

This book is helpful for any ADHDer adult or any parent of a child with ADHD to truly understand how their symptoms manifest in different areas of their life. The author also, without placing blame on anyone, explains how these symptoms are related to the attachment styles each of us grew up with in our childhood homes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ insightful
*by K***R on 7 May 2025*

Such good insights. However I took a long time to read it as it triggered a lot of emotions within me which I know was required for my growth
