Hi,
I realized as an adult that it's possible I have it and I want to learn more about it, both in order to better manage my symptoms, but also because I like learning. So my question to you is what resources are you using?
Personally, I prefer short articles and videos. Here is my list:
- Russell Barkley, PhD - Keep an eye for the weekly research updates.
- ADDitude Magazine - Their How to choose a professional to diagnose your ADHD article was super useful to me, but overall they have a bunch of good articles to read, and a youtube channel.
- Broadcasting ADHD Europe - Found them literally today, not much to share.
- How to ADHD - I have watched a bunch of videos, they are interesting and fun to watch. I am not sure how much I trust the information in this channel, please let me know if you have an opinion.
- Olivia Lutfallah - Mostly shorts.
Edit: I am reading ADHD 2.0, I highly recommend it. My favourite quote so far is "we shoot ourselves in the foot, only to discover a more efficient method to extract the bullet".

How to ADHD has been really helpful for me, as has Psych2Go. There are some other Youtubers who have posted videos of “10 signs you may have ADHD” or similar, but those aren’t like their usual videos, like Rick Wants to Know
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/channel/UCRGkhZJg1SdOU87RWJybUqg

I read ADHD 2.0 and it really resonated with me.
Their original book, driven to distraction is extremely good too. Describes the condition really well, I cried reading the case studies it resonated with me so much.
Some of the info is a bit more dated than ADHD 2.0 but I feel it’s a bit more comprehensive
ADHD 2.0 on goodreads for anyone interested.
Also, I am wondering if Taking charge of ADHD (2nd edition) is any good. The first edition has mixed reviews on goodreads .
btw, I am scared of books, I haven’t been able to complete a bunch of them without intense dedication. Any tips are appreciated.
Try audiobook. That’s how I read ADHD 2.0.
Check with your local library. A lot of them are connected to Libby app which allows you to play audiobooks on your phone for free from their collection.
