Sinopse

Have you ever wondered: 
 
- How do they know how much an aircraft carrier weighs? 
- How do they get music onto a CD? 
- How does an electric eel generate electricity? 
- How do they know how long a second is? 
- How do penguins stay warm in Antarctica? 
- How do they teach guide dogs to cross at a green light? 
The answers to these and many other everyday wonders are explained. 
Here, in simple and easy-to-understand terms, are solutions to the riddles of everyday life. How exactly does a thief break into your car and drive off with it in less than a minute? And how do they get Hostess Twinkies to stay fresh for so long? 
More How Do They Do That? also reveals aspects of modern science and the natural world that are often taken for granted. How do they measure the heat of distant stars? How do they measure the ozone layer? And how do they know there's going to be another ice age in two thousand years? The answers await within. . .

    Do you feel like there is nothing you can do to save your relationship? 
Do you feel like your partner made your life a misery? 
You are not alone 
There are lots of couples where one or both partners have ADHD 
If any of this sounds familiar to you or if you feel like you just can’t seem to make things work in your relationship, then you’ve come to right place. 
But First, A Warning: 
Before we go further, let me make something abundantly clear: 
This workbook does not contain a "magic wand" that will bring you instant answers without having to do any work. 
What I’m about to share with you takes both time and effort and has worked wonders for me and my private clients. And I believe it can help you too. 
The exact process I’ll be sharing with you has taken several of my clients from a state of frustration and feeling "stuck", to crystal clarity as to what they should do. 
So with that said, let me tell you… 
Let’s get real, ADHD is intense, it can wreck relationships and if you’re like most people, you probably have little or no experience on how to make your relationship work with ADHD, because living with ADHD is unlike anything you’ve probably ever experienced before. 
Look, there a lot of books and materials out there about relationships and frankly there’s no shortage of advice on radio television and internet, but come on, let’s be honest, most of that advice is watered down and recycled thinking that frankly just doesn’t have any application to couples with ADHD.

    Schizophrenia is one of the most traumatic psychiatric disorders, both for the affected person and their family. It also carries an unfortunate stigma and suffers from frequent misinterpretation by the popular media. The disorder usually manifests itself through significant periods of hallucinations, bizarre delusions, and disorganized behavior, but the individuals who suffer from this brain disorder are not generally violent, and do have periods of remission. However it is often difficult for these individuals to maintain a regular lifestyle and relationships at home and at work, and many individuals with schizophrenia end up unable to live independently or, worse, homeless.This new edition in the popular Facts series provides a concise and up-to-date account of the underlying causes and symptoms of schizophrenia, as well as current theories about the disorder. The authors look at all the current treatment options, both medical and psychological, together with likely side-effects and the problem of compliance with treatment. The role of the family and the community in caring for individuals with schizophrenia is also considered.
