A unique and much-needed book that is part memoir/part self-help guide for adults either diagnosed with ADHD or finding they recognise the symptoms in themselves.
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.
Kat Brown is a freelance journalist and commentator whose national work on ADHD, mental health stigma, and other social and arts commentary has appeared in the Telegraph, Grazia, Woman's Hour and The Times. She is also the author of No One Talks About This Stuff, a ground-breaking anthology sharing people's stories of living after losing a baby.
