Product Information

A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD is the first guided workbook for women with ADHD designed to break the cycle of negative self-talk and shame-based narratives that stem from the common and limiting belief that brain differences are character flaws. This book ticked all of the boxes, being very easy to read and comprehend as well as full of good information! Sari Solden and Michelle Frank have created a transformational guide with exercises, questions, and inspiring stories that will immediately encourage readers to explore and discover their inner greatness. It seems the focus was on mindset about one's own ADHD experience, which for some might be really helpful.

This means that generations of women — and their symptoms — were wrongly diagnosed, ridiculed, and/or ignored. This helpful guidebook will show you how to embrace your neurodiversity and turn it into your biggest asset. This book goes into detail about how ADHD can impact social dysfunction and anxiety and provides step-by-step methods to declutter your life and live a fulfilling life.

Part autobiographical, part educational, Sari takes us through the journey of what it’s like to be a grown woman with ADHD. Before this book, there was little published about ADHD in females, and barely anything with a UK focus.

They dispel common myths, offer helpful coping tools, and give a thorough accounting of all treatment options as well as tips for dealing with a diagnosed child, partner, or family member. Finally it is poorly written with altering tenses, repetition, duplications and would have benefited from a few more rounds at the editors.From getting dressed in the morning, to making it to a job interview, to planning dinner―sometimes just getting through the day can be an ordeal for a woman with ADHD. Description: Through vivid stories and case histories of patients—both adults and children—Hallowell and Ratey explore the varied forms ADHD takes, from hyperactivity to daydreaming. An ideal selection for anyone wanting a comprehensive look at the symptoms, diagnosis process, ADHD management and everything in between.

There is also a focus on ADHD diagnosis for women in adulthood and specific advice about treatment and medication for later in life. Women with ADHD feel overwhelmed and misunderstood and don't like to talk about their weaknesses with others. This book was recommended to me by another ADHD friend, who really found benefit from it, so I'm sure the experience is different for everyone. This book is a beautiful guide written by a woman affected by this disease for all women who suffer from it and helps them a lot to manage their moods until they reach a much, much better condition.A shortage of ADHD medications that began in late 2022 continues to impact patients across the US and is expected to last at least through the end of this year.
