Is It You, Me, or Adult A.D.D.?: Stopping the Roller Coaster When Someone You Love Has Attention Deficit Disorder

Winner of four national book awards!  


Revised First Edition, 2022


Is It You, Me, or Adult ADHD? has helped thousands of readers worldwide to understand how this highly variable syndrome affects them. Professionals and couples who have elevated their lives with its wisdom recommend it to others.


In this highly endorsed, clearly written, and comprehensive guide, Gina Pera guides you in making sense of your own Adult ADHD Roller Coaster. She helps you to:


—View ADHD as a variable syndrome affecting individuals, not clones


—Realize how a later-in-life ADHD diagnosis creates additional issues


—Revise misinterpretations of symptoms, forged long ago, that can thwart progress now


—Heal poor coping responses and dysfunctional interaction cycles, as individuals and couples


—Implement practical supports to completing routine tasks and reaching long-term goals, with teamwork!


—Appreciate how poorly managed ADHD can also negatively affect the spouses and other loved ones.


—Delve into "denial's" dual nature — physiological and psychological — and reach through it


—Adopt proven approaches that remain extremely rare in clinical settings


The science has been clear since 1994, when Adult ADHD was declared a medical diagnosis. Still, the public harbors misconceptions, and that means millions suffer needlessly. That includes millions of couples who can't understand why their lives together are so hard—often despite many attempts at therapy.


The simple truth is:  Everyone knows someone with adult ADHD. Yet we often misattribute the symptoms to anxiety, depression, or even laziness, selfishness, “addictive personality,” or moodiness.


Some assume that ADHD means "little boys with ants in their pants." In fact, childhood hyperactivity goes "underground" as the person matures, resulting in a mentally restless state.


Meticulously researched and written by Gina Pera, Is It You, Me, or Adult ADHD? helps you recognizing the behaviors where you least expect them and developing compassion for everyone wrestling with unrecognized ADHD symptoms. It also offers:


—Explanations from preeminent experts


—Plenty of real-life details


—Easy-to-understand, detailed advice on the best treatment options and practical solutions.


The revolutionary message is one of hope for millions of people—and a joyous opportunity for a better life.
