INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER

From the mental health advocates Cate Osborn (@Catieosaurus) and Erik Gude (@ErikGude) comes a modern and refreshingly honest guide to managing ADHD for adults, "that gives solid information and practical tips in a format that you can actually consume" (KC Davis, LPC, New York Times bestselling author).

WELCOME TO THE CLUB--ADHD is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in adults, yet "there are no US guidelines for diagnosing and treating patients beyond childhood" (The New York Times). With roughly eight million adults living with ADHD and more people seeking and receiving diagnoses each year, there's a huge gap between lived experiences and straightforward information.

Enter Cate Osborn and Erik Gude, ADHD advocates, educators, and hosts of the wildly popular podcast Catie and Eric's Infinite Quest: An ADHD Adventure. They have witnessed this info gap firsthand in their own lives and in the flood of questions they regularly field from their millions of social media followers. Irreverent, indispensable, candid, and reassuring, Cate and Erik don't paper over the realities of neurodivergence. They give it to you straight.

Featuring the most up-to-date foundational information, The ADHD Field Guide for Adults also explores issues that are rarely discussed, such as navigating sex and intimacy, and the healthcare system. Ingeniously structured and designed to be accessible for neurodivergent readers, The ADHD Field Guide for Adults features a wealth of knowledge and hard-won wisdom on:

-Identifying comorbidities (e.g. autism; anxiety; depression; dyslexia; and others)
-Coping with stress, boredom, and other experiences
-Asking for help
-Creating organizational systems that work for you and how to triage if you diverge from them
-Improving time management
-Recognizing the effects of hormones on ADHD
-Learning to listen to your body when interoception makes it tricky
-Approaching sex and sensory issues, desire and intimacy
-Noticing Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria and other cognitive distortions in relationships
-And much more...

From taking responsibility to testing and evaluations, to tips for productivity and organization, to thoughtful discussions on diagnosis and identity, The ADHD Field Guide for Adults is the perfect book not only for adults who have ADHD, but for anyone who wants to understand them.
