From the social media sensations and mental health advocates Cate Osborn and Erik Gude 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 and 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.

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

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.
