Description

Think you might have ADHD? Recently diagnosed? Or wondering what actually helps?
'Essential reading' - Tom Watson
_______________
ADHD explained without the jargon, shame or sugar-coating
_______________
From the hosts of The ADHD Adults, ADHD Unpacked is a straight-talking, relatable guide to understanding adult ADHD - what it is, how it affects everyday life, and what you can actually do about it. Blending ADHD science, lived experience and dark humour, Alex and James make sense of the things that can leave people with ADHD wondering, “Why is this so difficult when I know I can do it?”
_______________
You'll discover:
- What ADHD actually is - and what it isn't, including common myths and misconceptions
- The reality of ADHD diagnosis, including what assessment can and can't tell you
- How executive function affects everyday life, from organisation to time management
- Why emotional regulation can feel so hard, and how ADHD can affect relationships, stress and overwhelm
- Practical ADHD strategies and tools to help you cope, function and feel more in control
_______________
Whether you're newly diagnosed, think you might have ADHD, have lived with an ADHD diagnosis for years, or just want to understand someone you care about, ADHD Unpacked will help you make sense of the condition and find ways to build a life that works with your brain.

James and Alex helped me understand my ADHD when I was first diagnosed, and ADHD Unpacked brings that same clarity to all adults with ADHD. Rooted in science, this book busts myths, explores the condition's complexities, and offers practical insights. Essential reading for anyone looking to better understand and live well with ADHD.

Tom Watson, Sunday Times bestselling author of Downsizing
A vital deep dive into the science, understandings and misunderstandings of ADHD, that's digestible, relatable and essential reading.

Anita Bhagwandas, journalist and author of Ugly
To paraphrase Alex's high school analogy, 'almost every single book I read feels like a slow and laborious torture of boredom'… but NOT this one! Engaging, unpretentious, relatable, informative and unifying. Facts and lived experiences smashing up stereotypes. This book can change and even save lives! Everyone should read it, but particularly ADHD adults (self-diagnosis is valid!), and the fact it can hold my attention SPEAKS VOLUMES!

Laura Mears-Reynolds, host of ADHD AF Podcast
This book brings much-needed nuance to the ADHD discourse, blending lived and academic insights and experience with considerable care and humour. It untangles ADHD's complexities and offers solid advice for adults; I felt understood, informed and ultimately empowered- it's a true gift to the community. This book is essential reading for anyone looking to understand ADHD deeply in relation to themselves or others (or are considering weighing in on its validity in the national press...!)"
