ADHD: Understanding and Overcoming it

Navigating Mental Health: ADHD – Understanding and Overcoming It

ADHD is one of the most widely misunderstood conditions in mental health. Too often reduced to stereotypes of distraction or hyperactivity, it is in reality a complex and diverse way of experiencing the world — one that can bring both real struggles and surprising strengths.

In this concise yet powerful guide, Navigating Mental Health: ADHD offers a clear, compassionate exploration of the condition across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. It blends psychological science with lived understanding to create a portrait that is both honest and hopeful. From the classroom to the workplace, from relationships to self-esteem, this book sheds light on the challenges of ADHD while also highlighting the unique gifts many with ADHD possess.

Alongside an accessible exploration of ADHD, you’ll discover:

• How ADHD affects attention, focus, and emotional regulation across the lifespan.

• Why ADHD often goes unrecognised, particularly in women and adults.

• The latest approaches in treatment, including medication, therapy, and lifestyle support.

• Practical strategies for managing daily life — from structuring routines to strengthening relationships.

• Ways to reframe ADHD not as a flaw, but as a different mode of thinking that can be harnessed.

Part guide, part reflection, and part practical toolkit, this book is written to empower both those living with ADHD and those seeking to support them. Compassionate without being simplistic, it offers knowledge, encouragement, and strategies for creating a more balanced and fulfilling life.

The Navigating Mental Health series distils complex psychological realities into accessible, reader-friendly volumes. Each book is designed to inform, reduce stigma, and provide pathways toward healing and growth.
