When I wrote the 1st edition of ADHD for Dummies in 2004, ADHD was mainly known as a childhood condition in boys that was primarily treated with medication.
ADHD for Dummies was one of the first books to offer support, strategies, and alternative treatments beyond medication.
I am very grateful for my new coauthor, Carol MacHendrie, who brings 25 years of experience in adult ADHD and relationships to this edition as we help readers navigate ADHD across genders and ages and within the family system.
Here is our publisher’s description of this book:
