Phenomenal book

As cliche as this will sound, this book changed my life for the better. After suffering from an eating disorder for over six years and finding no way to cope or recover I began to research treatment options on my own. Having always had the feeling that I had ADD, I had previously been tested but not allowed medication for fear from my doctors that I might use medications to lose more weight. With the knowledge I gained from this book (and recommending it to my psychiatrist), we were able to come up with a proper recovery plan which has led to my life now, free of an eating disorder. Even if you don't necessarily have an eating disorder of ADD, this book is incredibly interesting and provides much insight into the link between eating disorders and ADD.

Poeces of a Puzzle- The Link Between Eating Disorders and ADD

A wonderful, easy reading book that gives you all the important information you need if dealing with a child with ADD, an eating disorder, or both. The question and answer layout makes it easy to find information quickly. I highly recommend it. I have a child with ADD (inattentive type) and she dabbles with eating issues. Thanks for this fabulous book.
