Beyond ADHD weaves Emmerson's personal story of his ADHD diagnosis,
exploring along the way the latest medical, scientific and societal
explanations and tools for managing and living with the condition.
Including interviews with a number of experts at the forefront of
next-generation ADHD diagnostics and treatment, he questions the
cookie-cutter way ADHD is commonly diagnosed and treated.
Suggesting that the list of symptoms often used to identify ADHD
can be attributed to many other disorders and conditions, he
explores how and why ADHD diagnoses have increased by 50% in the
last ten years. Emmerson advocates a different approach to ADHD,
arguing that it should be a diagnosis of exclusion rather than the
other way around, and that we must look past the label, recognizing
that individual symptoms vary and treatment plans should be better
tailored to the individual. He examines mental and behavioral
issues from all sides, including the possibility that nurturing -
rather than trying to alter or suppress - the active, "360-degree"
mind is a viable way for those diagnosed with ADHD to realize their
gifts and lead purposeful lives.
