Book excerpt: In this book internationally renowned ADHD expert Dr. Russell Barkley explains the science behind ADHD and how you can tell if your spouse, partner, friend, adult child, or sibling may have it. Dr. Barkley shows how to guide your loved one toward the right treatment, and what to do if they don't want treatment.
