Understanding ADHD

As diagnoses of ADHD soar and waiting lists for referrals stretch on for years, it can seem increasingly difficult to find support and an explanation for why you are the way that you are. Whether you were termed a troublemaker at school because you couldn’t concentrate in class, or you’ve found yourself chronically overthinking relationships or experiencing executive dysfunction as a grown-up, it can be reassuring to know that you’re not alone. It’s estimated that around 2.6 million people in the UK have ADHD, but less than a quarter of these have an official diagnosis.

In this brand new title, we’ll explore:

• What exactly ADHD is

• How it can impact your life, from infancy all the way through to adulthood

• We’ll guide you through what ADHD is and how it might be affecting you

• We’ll share some expert-approved ways to manage your symptoms, from how to beat imposter syndrome and thrive at work, to how to support your child if you suspect they’re living with ADHD.

Understanding ADHD is a comprehensive guide to ADHD, offering longform features backed by science and expert guidance on managing symptoms.
