Hi,
I realized as an adult that it’s possible I have it and I want to learn more about it, both in order to better manage my symptoms, but also because I like learning. So my question to you is what resources are you using?
Personally, I prefer short articles and videos. Here is my list:
- Russell Barkley, PhD - Keep an eye for the weekly research updates.
- ADDitude Magazine - Their How to choose a professional to diagnose your ADHD article was super useful to me, but overall they have a bunch of good articles to read, and a youtube channel.
- Broadcasting ADHD Europe - Found them literally today, not much to share.
- How to ADHD - I have watched a bunch of videos, they are interesting and fun to watch. I am not sure how much I trust the information in this channel, please let me know if you have an opinion.
- Olivia Lutfallah - Mostly shorts.
Edit: I am reading ADHD 2.0, I highly recommend it. My favourite quote so far is “we shoot ourselves in the foot, only to discover a more efficient method to extract the bullet”.
I read ADHD 2.0 and it really resonated with me.
Their original book, driven to distraction is extremely good too. Describes the condition really well, I cried reading the case studies it resonated with me so much.
Some of the info is a bit more dated than ADHD 2.0 but I feel it’s a bit more comprehensive
ADHD 2.0 on goodreads for anyone interested.
Also, I am wondering if Taking charge of ADHD (2nd edition) is any good. The first edition has mixed reviews on goodreads .
btw, I am scared of books, I haven’t been able to complete a bunch of them without intense dedication. Any tips are appreciated.
Try audiobook. That’s how I read ADHD 2.0.
Check with your local library. A lot of them are connected to Libby app which allows you to play audiobooks on your phone for free from their collection.
