Nowhere girl : life as a member of ADHD's lost generation / by Ciccone, Carla,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Why is a generation of women only now discovering they have ADHD? In Nowhere Girls, a journalist weaves her personal story with a broader investigation into the rise of ADHD diagnoses, and explores the transformative power of finally coming to understand your own brain. When freelance science journalist Carla Ciccone became a mother, she realized she might need to finally see a therapist. Sure, she had struggled to hold down a job for most of her adult life, but she'd always made it work. But "making it work" wasn't going to cut it now that she had a human being to raise. Months into therapy, at age thirty-nine, Carla was officially diagnosed with ADHD, and she learned that she was far from alone: the number of women Carla's age who were being diagnosed with ADHD had more than doubled in recent years. In the U.S., the rate at which women between the ages of fifteen and forty-four filled ADHD medication prescriptions rose 344 percent between 2003 and 2015, with similar trends in Canada and the U.K. Worldwide, Google searches for "ADHD women" started climbing in April of 2020 and haven't come back down since. In Nowhere Girls, Ciccone recounts her experience living for decades with undiagnosed ADHD and examines the rise of diagnoses and the women who were "nowhere" -- left out of the pages of medical research that should have included them. She looks back at the classrooms of the 1990s, where mostly little boys unable to sit still were diagnosed with ADHD, shifts her gaze to the hormonal upheavals of adolescence and their unique effects on the neurochemistry of girls, and then examines her own chaotic entrance into motherhood and her desire to do right by her daughter. Throughout, she explores the science and cultural history of ADHD and considers how the hundreds of thousands of women now being diagnosed can revisit their own personal histories and navigate their way towards a steadier, happier adulthood. Written with humour and heart, Nowhere Girls is a revelatory book about a historic gap in women's health and an empowering balm for women who recognize themselves in these pages"--

Mayo Clinic on Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, revised and updated : a guide for people with dementia and those who care for them.
"Dementia is a serious health challenge, and by some estimates the number of people living with dementia could more than double by 2050. While Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia, other types also affect adults worldwide, causing loss of cognitive functions such as memory, reasoning and judgment. The diseases that cause dementia have long been considered difficult and unrelenting, but recent advances offer hope. Are there ways you can lower your risk of Alzheimer's Disease and other dementias? Can they be prevented? Can you live well with dementia? If so, how? This fully revised and updated third edition of Mayo Clinic on Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias provides answers to these important questions and more: How do sleeplessness, hearing loss, social isolation, and other risk factors contribute to cognitive decline? How can exercise and healthy foods preserve brain function? What are the neurological changes that can occur in the brain, and how is normal aging different from aging with dementia? How are blood and genetic biomarker tests breaking new ground in diagnosing dementia? Why is it increasingly important to identify dementia in its early stages? What are the unique signs and symptoms of Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal degeneration, vascular cognitive impairment, and other dementias? What are the stages of Alzheimer's disease? Can new and emerging medications slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease? What day-to-day coping strategies can help people live well with dementia? How can caregivers care for themselves?"--Library Bound Incorporated

The crucial years : the essential guide to mental health and modern puberty in middle childhood (ages 6-12) / by Ziegler, Sheryl,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.An essential guide for parents and caregivers, this book offers insights, strategies, and understanding to navigate middle childhood (ages 6-12). Dr. Sheryl Gonzalez Ziegler, a seasoned clinical psychologist and mother, highlights ways to foster resilience, encourage open communication, and build lasting connections during this crucial period. There is a pivotal sea change happening in children's development. The age of puberty has been trending earlier for decades, and now starts as young as 8 years old in girls and 9 in boys. Bullying doesn't just happen on the playground, but over text and DM. Depression and anxiety are drastically on the rise. Couple earlier puberty with ill-equipped, developing brains and the onslaught of new media and stressors that never existed when we were kids, and it's clear that parents need a new guide to raise this new generation. The Crucial Years is your essential handbook to navigating the often misunderstood and overlooked years of middle childhood (ages 6-12). As a mom and clinical psychologist, Dr. Sheryl Ziegler knows firsthand how challenging these years can be for some and for others how they are years where a parent thinks they can finally catch their breath in between the gap from preschool and middle school. Dr. Ziegler masterfully unlocks the enigma surrounding modern puberty and offers evidence-based strategies, interventions, and answers to middle childhood's most perplexing questions and concerns. In these pages, she provides: science-based advice to recognize and navigate puberty; candid and actionable guidance for getting your kids to talk their complicated feelings and understanding their moods; insights into the changing world of gender and sexual identity, body image and disordered eating; a clear explanation of the invisible threads linking mood swings, self-confidence, and social media exposure; and road-tested, real-world guidance to handle social stress and other pressures. With The Crucial Years, you have all that you need to guide your child through the unexpected ups and downs of puberty and help them emerge as well-rounded, confident teens.

Solitaire / by Oseman, Alice,author.;
Sixteen-year-old Victoria "Tori" Spring is the personification of angst, slowly slipping, day by day, into the depths of despair. On a good day, she can convince herself she feels nothing. Her best friend has become preoccupied with boys; her brother, Charlie, is recovering from an episode of mental illness and attempted suicide; a former childhood friend has suddenly resurfaced with expectations that she can't fulfill; and her mother cannot tear herself away from the computer long enough to notice Tori's decline. Then, there's Michael Holden, the crazy new student who refuses to let Tori alienate herself from him the way she is doing with everyone else. He forces himself into her life at the same time as a bizarre prank is unleashed to instigate rebellion among the students at Higgs. Solitaire.co.uk delivers messages via blog posts and by commandeering the schools' computers and PA system, touting a rallying cry of "Patience Kills." Strangely, all of its enigmatic messages seem to bear some resemblance to episodes in Tori's past. When the pranks begin to turn dangerous, Tori convinces herself that she's the only one who can put a stop to it.

Searching for normal : a new approach to understanding mental health, distress, and neurodiversity / by Timimi, Sami,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."More and more people are being diagnosed with ADHD and autism. More and more people are being diagnosed with mental disorders. Young people are being medicalised for behaviours that might be explained as entirely normal in other parts of the world. Distress has been commodified over many decades by pharmaceutical companies, the media and the psychiatric establishment. So how can we know when distress is normal and when it is something that needs to be treated? In Searching for Normal, Dr Sami Timimi explores the political and cultural context of these phenomena and presents, instead, a deeply humane approach that looks at the person as a whole-their family context, their culture, their personal resilience -- and advocates for a reframing of how we think about and treat distress"--
