Title: If I had a hammer...
Review: I really liked "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life" and therefore expected to like this book, too. Amen's advances in brain scans promise significant insight into mental disorders. Unfortunately, in this book, he reminds me of the proverbial fellow who has just gotten a shiny new hammer and suddenly sees nails everywhere. In his view, it seems, nearly every possible mental disorder really is a form of ADD. This contradicts the usual psychiatric protocols for differential diagnosis: ADD is generally defined as an attention-directing and impulse-control disorder that does NOT involve delusions, depression, bipolar, and other problems known to have attention-deficiency and/or impulse control components. Thus this book seems likely to confuse the diagnostic issues. I still expect Daniel Amen to produce a great book on ADD one of these days, based on the brain scan research. I regret to say, however, this isn't it.
