The clear, compassionate, and practical guide for anyone navigating the early stages of an adult ADHD diagnosis.

ADHD diagnoses are surging across Australia. In the past decade alone, the number of Australians prescribed ADHD medication has skyrocketed by nearly 300% and demand continues to grow. Across the globe, people are breathing a sigh of relief â" finally, an explanation for those years of struggle, of feeling out of step with the rest of the world.

But what does adult ADHD actually look and feel like in everyday life? How do symptoms really show up day to day? And do we need to know about things like masking, rejection sensitivity, current guidelines for diagnosis, and misinformation? In This Explains Everything, psychiatrist and ADHD specialist Dr Kieran Kennedy guides us through what living with adult ADHD actually looks like and the we need not just to survive with it, but to thrive.

Drawing on evidence-based research and Dr Kieranâs insights from his years in the psychiatristâs chair, This Explains Everything is your guidebook to navigating adult ADHD: from seeking diagnosis and talking to your doctor about medication, to how diagnostic symptoms really show up for adults, emotional dysregulation and time blindness. Along the way he explains the science of a neurodivergent brain, how psychology, diet and exercise can complement and support medications and the must-knows for women with ADHD.

Full of revelatory insight, striking patient cases and evidence-based information for navigating a diagnosis, here Dr Kieran Kennedy leads us through an emotional and deeply relatable journey inside the world of adult ADHD.
