Kat Brown has published something that it feels we have been waiting for for a long time. It's Not A Bloody Trend: Understanding Life as an ADHD Adult should be read by anyone with any connection with ADHD.

‘A sledgehammer of a book putting to bed all the cynicism and misinformation around a condition that affects so many hidden, brilliant people’ Professor Tanya Byron

‘Laugh out loud funny and deeply validating – every person who thinks ADHD isn’t real should read this book’ Leanne Maskell, author of ADHD: An A to Z

Nobody should spend their life feeling defective. Everyone deserves to have a user manual to their brain – welcome to yours.

Once associated more with hyper boys than adults, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is now recognised as a condition in need of a rebrand which affects people of all genders and ages in a multitude of ways.

In this enlightening and definitive layman’s guide, Kat Brown cheerfully smashes the stereotypes with scientific evidence, historical context, and practical support for ADHD minds across areas that can cause problems, from finances and work to self-medicating, relationships, hormones and self-esteem.

Based on Kat’s personal experience and extensive interviews with ADHDers and world-leading clinical experts, It’s Not A Bloody Trend is for anyone wondering if what’s always been ‘wrong’ with them might just be undiagnosed ADHD.
