A Comprehensive Guide to Mastering Adult ADHD

As someone who is diagnose later on in life with ADHD, this book has a lot of great information on the educational aspects of ADHD as well as some coping help for children and adults.

The tips for maintaining ADHD and the info on medications were super easy to understand and super helpful. The first 30ish pages though felt a little unnecessary and I ended up skimming over it.

This is a concise introductory guide to ADHD and while geared to adults, could also be useful for teenagers and parents of children with ADHD to help set them up for success later in life.

I particularly appreciated the detailed information on medical and non-medical treatments, as well as information on ADHD medications and considerations for interactions with other substances (e.g., alcohol, caffeine, antidepressants).

I do think the book could have shared information about which jobs people with ADHD may excel at due to the strengths of ADHD, e.g., creative pursuits.

Otherwise, a good quick reference guide, especially if you are learning about ADHD for the first time.

Great information for beginners and helpful, applicable techniques. I can see this being a good resource for someone just discovering their diagnosis.

A very clear and concisely written book explaining Adult ADHD. I liked how the book was laid out and the fact that there are different options for dealing with ADHD from natural ways to enhance your life, to therapies, and medications. What truly was helpful was the feeling that while this can be a struggle and a juggling act to handle at times the book gives many positive scenarios and ways to handle life.

I found this to be a good resource for someone who has recently been diagnoses with ADHD or for someone who was diagnoses in childhood (me) but was never taught what exactly ADHD is, and coping mechanisms.

There was detailed information on medical and non-medical treatments which I also appreciated. Overall, it was a great source of information for someone who is not familiar with their diagnosis or the diagnosis of a loved one.

This is definitely a book that I will be keeping on my bookshelf and referencing later.

This a great read for anyone who wants to know more about how ADHD shows up in adults. The content is reader friendly with great, in depth explanations of what ADHD is, conditions that can happen with ADHD, diagnosis, treatment and strategies. I would give it 4 out of 5 and definitely recommend it.

This book is very clear and has lots of information in. I liked it as a neurotypical person who has immediate family members who are awaiting assessment for adhd. It has given a good insight into their experiences and also given ideas on how to problem solve a few areas too.

This was really helpful! As someone who’s partner who has been recently diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood, this was really helpful.

As an adult with ADD as well as my daughter having ADD, I found this book very helpful and useful. It’s hard to find good books to help navigate this in adulthood.

Really helpful!

Made me understand more and think about my behaviour. I think Adult ADHD gets overlooked but this book will hopefully highlight some of this.

This book provides a good insight into ADHD and offers some good tips and strategies for coping with the many challenges!

I really needed this book in my life. It has given me hope that I can manage my ADHD. It helps me see that I am not a horrible individual, but that I can be a contributing member to society. The author made it simple to understand and provided guidelines on how to manage it.

As a child, I had all the classic symptoms of ADHD. Unfortunately, in the early 90s in UK, not much was known. I was a problem child, always disruptive, couldn’t concentrate and was constantly in trouble. I ended up in alternative education. As an adult, I’ve suffered with anxiety and depression. No antidepressants or therapy has helped. When my own two children were diagnosed with ADHD. I decided to get myself assessed.

There’s lots of books covering children with ADHD so it was good to read a book aimed at adults. The sections of the book answered all of my questions and was very helpful for me. It shows you how the symptoms in adults can be different and mistreated as well as lots of helpful (and honest) information about medication and other treatments.

I would recommend this book to anyone suffering from ADHD or anyone that wants honest, unbiased information about adult ADHD.

As someone who grew up with a parent who had ADHD. I which this book had existed. This book actually helped me understand the parent in question better.

I really enjoyed this. As someone who lives with ADHD, this was so spot on and I found it personally helpful. I will be recommending this personally and professionally.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

5 star review!

What an incredible book. As someone who has recently been diagnosed with ADHD this was a really informative book which was easy to read, even if it took me a while due to getting distracted!

Thanks again!

As an ADHD psychotherapist that works primarily with adolescents with ADHD, I found value in this book. I would also recommend this book to people who may not be mental health professionals because it provides the information in an easily digestible format, with practical strategies, as opposed to just commiserating about the difficulties we have as adults who struggle with ADHD. I actually recommended this book to a couple of my adult patients, just a source to refer to as we discharge from therapy.

Good book for Adults with ADHD, it helps with a quick understanding of how to live with ADHD. It has short paragraph so an easy read for a mind that tends to wander off and wants to easily find what they are looking for.
It needs a bit of editing, and would benefit from a better design but I found useful bits myself in this book
I was diagnosed as a teen almost 18 years ago now before it was really known about.

Very interesting and had a lot of nice resources to better understand this topic. I always have been interested in ADHD, mostly because of my close friends and family members who work with people who have, or they temselves have, ADHD. This book offers great tools.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this eARC.
