About this listen

 'A sledgehammer of a book putting to bed all the cynicism and misinformation around a condition that affects so many hidden, brilliant people' Professor Tanya Byron

'Laugh out loud funny and deeply validating - every person who thinks ADHD isn't real should read this book' Leanne Maskell, author of ADHD: An A to Z

Nobody should spend their life feeling defective. Everyone deserves to have a user manual to their brain - welcome to yours.

Once associated more with hyper boys than adults, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is now recognised as a condition in need of a rebrand which affects people of all genders and ages in a multitude of ways.

In this enlightening and definitive layman's guide, Kat Brown cheerfully smashes the stereotypes with scientific evidence, historical context, and practical support for ADHD minds across areas that can cause problems, from finances and work to self-medicating, relationships, hormones and self-esteem.

Based on Kat's personal experience and extensive interviews with ADHDers and world-leading clinical experts, It's Not A Bloody Trend is for anyone wondering if what's always been 'wrong' with them might just be undiagnosed ADHD.©2024 Kat Brown (P)2024 Hachette Audio UK Attention Deficit Disorders Children's Health Mental Health Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Relationships Health Special need

Critic reviews

Deeply researched, digestible and relatable. This is a book which not only assists and validates those starting their diagnosis journey, or already on its path, but also gives insight and experiential examples for those loved ones surrounding us to learn and understand with us. Brown speaks vulnerably of her own story whilst revealing a unique angle: a compilation of real life examples from different people interlacing her own experiences in an approachable and nurturing tone. ADHD manifests in many different ways and whilst a multiple choice box helps with initial diagnosis, this book shows a deep dive into the diversity of our real life experiences and how they are all illustrations of the obstacles we deal with daily. As the title suggests, there are some preconceptions about ADHD, and I myself have been fearful of talking about my diagnosis in public too much in fear of accusations of jumping on the band wagon. Brown writes that "rather than something being fashionable, it's usually social change that has led to it being more clearly seen" which sums this up perfectly (Emma Young, author of 'The Cheese Wheel')

I'm was engaged in the book and barely spaced out. could really relate with so many of the stories, it was emotional, I cried, laughed and really reflected about my own life through this. Tjank you!

Will listen again to get all the details.

Very interesting and great to hear it from the Author herself. Sped up to x1.5 was perfect listening speed. Have a lot of food for thought on life with ADHD and life for those who support someone with ADHD.

Kept me interested throughout (even going through ADHD and the menopause).
This will ring true to many, if not all ADHDers, It will hopefully provide an in-site for neurotypical’s that may be struggling to understand or even comprehend what neurodiverse people have been thinking is normal their entire life, and why it’s hard for us to get our heads around the fact that we have ADHD. Especially when we realise that we have ADHD and that it explains everything that we’ve been battling with our entire lives. Why we’ve been finding things so hard and exhausting to do and why we’ve been trying to fit into a box that is in no way designed for us, and why we have not completed so many things that we wanted to complete.

A factual, honest and well presented book.

A refreshing, affirming take on life as an adult with ADHD. Thank you for writing the book I didn't even know I needed. Hyperfocus allowed me to finish it in 3 days!
