In this groundbreaking and controversial book, behavioral neurologist Dr. Richard Saul draws on five decades of experience treating thousands of patients labeled with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder—one of the fastest growing and widely diagnosed conditions today—to argue that ADHD is actually a cluster of symptoms stemming from over 20 other conditions and disorders.

According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 6.4 million children between the ages of four and seventeen have been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. While many skeptics believe that ADHD is a fabrication of drug companies and the medical establishment, the symptoms of attention-deficit and hyperactivity are all too real for millions of individuals who often cannot function without treatment. If ADHD does not exist, then what is causing these debilitating symptoms?

Over the course of half a century, physician Richard Saul has worked with thousands of patients demonstrating symptoms of ADHD. Based on his experience, he offers a shocking conclusion: ADHD is not a condition on its own, but rather a symptom complex caused by over twenty separate conditions—from poor eyesight and giftedness to bipolar disorder and depression—each requiring its own specific treatment. Drawing on in-depth scientific research and real-life stories from his numerous patients, ADHD Does not Exist synthesizes Dr. Saul's findings, and offers and clear advice for everyone seeking answers.

The title is very misleading. Pretty much Dr. Saul explains what causes the symptoms of ADHD, not that ADHD doesn't exist at all.

The book talks mostly about ADHD in children as opposed to adults. I was looking for more information about ADHD in adults. Dr. Saul's explanation of the symptoms of ADHD in children is good but in adults it was severely lacking. ADHD presents itself differently in adults. I thought the chapter on sleep disorders chapters was best in regards to adult ADHD.

The chapter on mood disorders was good but lacking. I thought it focused far too much on bipolar disorder and not enough on unipolar depression. I was hoping for more of an explanation on how depression causes symptoms of ADHD beyond saying "depression makes you distracted."

The chapters on vision and hearing were excellent. My brother struggled with school terribly when he was a child. No one could figure out how to make him do better. This was before ADHD was common so he was never diagnosed with it. After being held back twice a doctor finally realized he needed tubes in his ears. It was life changing to say the least. His son just got tubes in his ears last month so it's definitely something genetic.

I found the chapter about iron deficiency useful although if iron deficiency is the most common nutritional problem, why wasn't it given more significance in the book?

I'm sure the other chapters are good as well but because I have no background in learning disorders, schizophrenia, asperger's (and so on) it's hard for me to say one way or the other.

What I found most baffling of all was the chapter on neurochemical distractability/impulsivity. Dr. Saul writes that NDI is NOT a formal diagnosis and does not appear in the medical books. What!?

I was totally appalled by the title, followed by much misinformation within this book. Even the eighteen traits on the back cover are misleading…as they leave out many of the most important― the very ones that have a major impact on most adults who suffer with ADD/ADHD, an insidious and devastating disorder― which most certainly does exist! I have lived several decades with an afflicted husband, son and have 2 grandsons with this highly inherited disorder - and have done much research on this topic.

By promoting the idea that ADHD does not exist, Dr. Saul is doing a grave disservice in general, as well as offending those who definitively do have this disorder. His title (no doubt for shock and sales) leaves sufferers and their families feeling angry and/or hopeless…as they fearfully now wonder what they DO have that is destroying their life. Then he waffles all over the place disregarding the disclaimer of his very own title!

I know firsthand that ADD/ ADHD is disastrous - ruining lives, families and relationships. It runs rampant in families and it’s growing by epidemic proportions….now affecting 13 million adults and 10% of children. (If any in the family have it, then other blood relatives either have it, or likely carry the gene.)

Is this disorder over diagnosed? Possibility in children-but it is definitely under-diagnosed in adults! Yes, they may have (other) difficult issues, like OCD or dyslexia-but that doesn’t mean they don’t have ADD/ADHD as well! This is truly the most misunderstood mental health condition in the US.
