    About this ebook

    Do you suffer from symptoms of inattention and repetitive negative thinking?

    Until recently, few doctors and researchers thought people with Attention Deficit Disorder could also suffer from persistent over-focusing on negative thoughts. However, scientific research is now finding these two problems can occur together and that people with over-focused ADD - a combination of both inattention and negative over-focusing – can worry excessively and suffer from high levels of inattention. Furthermore, this combination can be very challenging to treat as medications for ADD can worsen anxiety and over-focusing, while medications and supplements for treating over-focused thinking and anxiety can have a negative effect on motivation and mental focus.

    Over-Focused ADD: Essential Information about Inattention and Negative Over-Focusing is a concise booklet about the symptoms of over-focused ADD and the most helpful treatments for managing this complex disorder. As well as discussing medications and talk therapy options that are effective for treating this disorder, this ebooklet also addresses alternative treatments options such as exercise, meditation and over-the-counter supplements.
