Extra Focus: The Quick Start Guide to Adult ADHD aligns with the Center for Integrative Neuroscience in its focus on understanding and managing ADHD from a practical perspective. If the book emphasizes holistic, neuroscience-based strategies rather than just pharmaceutical interventions, it fits well with our mission of integrating mental health and neuroscience into medical practice.
 
Why It’s Relevant to Our Work:
✔ Neuroscience-Based Focus—Understanding ADHD through brain function, executive dysfunction, and attention regulation aligns with our emphasis on evidence-based mental health approaches.
✔ Beyond Medication—If the book explores diet, lifestyle, and cognitive strategies, it supports our integrative approach to mental health care.
✔ Empowering Individuals—Helping adults with ADHD navigate productivity, focus, and self-regulation aligns with our commitment to practical, patient-centered solutions.
