Finally, a fully scientific, evidence-based and up-to-date book on ADHD, which debunks the myths, the sugarcoated study results and explains the true experience.
A book I wish I had written, and yet, glad that the authors have done it very well for us.

Books on ADHD are still relatively few in number, and books on ADHD by people who actually know what it's like to have ADHD are fewer still.
This book is one of those - a rare gem. Its authors are also incredibly knowledgeable and the evidence base they tap into is extensive.
I hope that in the future there will be loads more books with this balance of information, analysis and lived experience but for now, this is one of the few around.

An insight into ADHD that's easily accessible. I imagine it will be really valuable to people trying to get to grips with an ADHD diagnosis, especially those recently diagnosed as adults.

However, it might be even more valuable to those with a family member or friend struggling with ADHD because the authors have also had their own difficulties with their diagnoses and learning to life with it. As someone who has an adult son with a recent diagnosis, this book has helped me see his problems more clearly and hopefully understand his daily battles to live a "comfortable" life.

"Unpacked" cuts through the nonsense and uses humour a lot, but treats the condition seriously, and recognises medical and scientific fact. The quackery and false info so common on social media is given short shrift. There is a lot of solid information in these pages, presented in a manner that's easily digested.

Recommended reading for anyone curious about this often much misunderstood condition. I would especially urge anyone with an Human Resources or staff management role to read it so that they can recognised how to recognise traits, support their employees and make adjustments that could enable them to give their best in the workplace.
