A unique collaboration between an ADHD psychiatrist and an author-illustrator with ADHD explaining this disorder using case studies, sound medical information, nuanced insights and humorous illustrations.
Discussion around ADHD has exploded in recent years. On TikTok alone, #adhd appears 30 billion times a month! Yet understanding remains elusive. Its symptoms are all too often missed or misunderstood, especially among girls and women.
Heightened awareness has led to more people seeking help, but it has also created a cacophony of voices - from sceptics and advocates alike. In an era of information overload, it's crucial to have a reliable source.
Amid the turbulence, this book offers a much-needed anchor to help women make informed choices about their mental health, bringing clarity to a muddled conversation. The good news is that ADHD is treatable, in fact, it's one of the most treatable conditions in psychiatry as the seven women in the book's case studies discover.
This unique book brings empathy, a passion to help and a uniquely readable and visual style. This is an intimate, humorous and relatable exploration of the disorder that will be a go-to survival guide for women with ADHD.
