Confidently navigate your ADHD diagnosis and treatment. Whether you're recognizing ADHD symptoms for the first time or have struggled with ADHD for years, this book offers the knowledge and tools to advocate for yourself in a healthcare system often lacking adequate support. Learn how to overcome the stigma, misinformation, and misdiagnosis that so many adults face.
Don’t let ADHD keep you from living your best life. Most psychiatric programs in the U.S. are not trained in diagnosing or treating ADHD, leaving many adults undiagnosed or improperly treated. Your ADHD Handbook fills this gap by offering clear, actionable advice, helping you or your loved one understand ADHD, whether it’s for yourself, your relationships, or even in raising children –– equipping you with the knowledge to advocate and navigate this journey confidently.
Inside, you’ll find:
Practical guidance for understanding diagnostic criteria and navigating ADHD in the healthcare system
Insights into finding the right resources for your needs
Strategies for addressing common challenges like time management, organization, and focus tailored to the unique needs of individuals with ADHD
If you liked ADHD is Awesome, Your Brain's Not Broken, or Why Smart, Creative and Highly Sensitive People Hurt, you’ll love Your ADHD Handbook.
After a lifetime of emotional struggles, feeling misunderstood by the world around her, and feeling like she was in a constant state of treading water Courtney Carini was diagnosed with ADHD in 2020 at the age of 38. She had built a successful multi-million dollar walnut snack company, but was still feeling lost, trapped, and bogged down by being spread too thin. She then spent the next 3 years deeply entrenched in all things ADHD, and learning to completely restructure and approach her life in a way that worked with her unique brain in this neurotypical world, and find her place with a clear path forward. Courtney started documenting her ADHD journey on social media and found a supportive and welcoming community there. She has gotten her ADHD Coaching Certification where she now supports clients with their ADHD Journey and managing their conditions. She lives in Fresno.
