Summary
'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.

Perfect balance between factual and emotional cont
Wonderful book.
Quite an emotional listen when there are so many ‘that’s how I feel / what I do’ moments.
Narration is excellent . Brings warmth and humour to the testimonies.

Must read for anyone with ADHD (or anyone who knows them!)
This is the book that I wish existed when I was diagnosed almost three years ago- I'm not sure I've ever felt such a sense of belonging!
Kat does a fantastic job of weaving anecdotes, her own and those of others, with expert opinions and practical explanations/tips. An entertaining, comforting and helpful read all in one!
Half way through and couldn't recommend more!

The best guide on the subject
I laughed, I cried, I became totally immersed in the book written (and read!) in a delicate and hilarious way. With my brain being the way it is, I found it well compartmentalised, and was easy - and more importantly compelling - to follow.

Actually useful narrative.
Psycho education is one of the most useful tools for the recently diagnosed/realised. An excellent place to start.

A true insight to life with ADHD
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!

A factual, honest and well presented book.
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.

Incredible research & insight + a top narrator to boot!
This book is the first audiobook I’ve actually been able to stick (ironically…)
Kat’s dedicated research, razor sharp writing, affability & wonderful delivery prevent this from becoming a list of statistics or reports - it’s a magnificent combination of human experience backed up with the science & research (where there has been any). Highly HIGHLY recommend!

Oh, I’m not so weird after all!
Thanks for this Kat (and your army of contributors). Plenty of good for thought, and a thoroughly valuable way to spend 8 hours
