In this DVD presentation, Dr Philip Bird, the lead physician and founder of the Gosforth Clinic, explores some of the theories behind how and why ADD develops and the effects it has on brain function. Using the experiences of his Clinic outpatients, who candidly discuss their varying experiences with ADD before treatment and post-treatment, Dr Bird is able to explain through a series of illustrations, the way in which ADD impacts the brain's functioning mechanisms.

By discussing the symptoms, way of life and outcomes with Dr. Bird's ADD patients in an open and honest way, the viewer is able to see that although ADD can have a detrimental effect on an individual's life, with correct counseling, medication and on-going therapy, people with ADD can live fulfilling, responsible and stress-free lives.
