Think you have ADHD and looking for help?
Recently diagnosed and thinking, what now?
Looking to support and understand an adult with ADHD in your life?
From the hosts of The ADHD Adults comes this accessible, authentic and unfiltered guide to understanding adult ADHD. You'll find science-backed facts on what ADHD actually is, how it shows up in everyday life, personal reflections (sometimes painful, often hilarious) and tips and tools for coping.
Join Alex and James as they walk you through ADHD myth-busters (it's not a trend, technology doesn't cause it and medication can be effective - 80% of people who take ADHD medication think so!), the long-held perceptions of ADHD (did you know that it was once known as 'a defect of moral control'?!), to why intention and emotion regulation disorder might be a better name for it.
ADHD Unpacked is the relatable, reassuring and downright funny handbook you need to survive and thrive with ADHD.

Customer Reviews
Great book, apparently not waterproof
James and Alex have broken down ADHD into easy to understand and manage chapters. The audio book chapters don’t align to the chapters in the hard copy book which makes me laugh but also drives me a little crazy.
Hard pass
ADHD Unpacked is like unpacking boxes of your own stuff after moving house. It’s the same old stuff.
You’re unpacking what you’re all too familiar with- symptoms of ADHD that make life really difficult, with nauseating disclaimers about terminology 🥱
Their advice is essentially to do a good job planning and prioritising 😑 The narrators speak as though they’re talking to young children at a birthday party, all the while using profanity.
