How the ADHD Brain Works

How the ADHD Brain Works

The neuroscience behind ADHD symptoms and behaviors such as reaction sensitivity, hyperfocus, emotionality & more.

ADHD is not what you think it is. The symptoms delineated in the DSM-5 — inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity — are not the most powerful or life-altering characteristics of the condition, according to those who live with it. Rather, the most impairing traits are those connected to intense, dysregulated emotions, inconsistent focus and motivation, and the shame that arises from a lifetime of negative messages. This eBook takes a scientific approach to helping parents, educators, and adults with ADHD to:

Get inside the ADHD brain and learn about the networks and neurotransmitters linked to symptoms

Recognize the defining (but often overlooked) role of emotional dysregulation

Understand rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), which explains why the slightest criticism can destroy individuals with ADHD

Realize why they can focus intently on tasks that are urgent, novel, or interesting

Confront the shame that many with ADHD internalize after years of negative messages from the world

Discover the hidden truths that unlock successful treatment and a better life with ADHD

How the ADHD Brain Works contains 76 pages of compelling research and scientific revelations to better understand the emotional attributes of ADHD, as well as the related challenges of lagging motivation and shame.
