A revised and updated edition of the classic self-help book that has served as a lifeline to the millions of adults who have ADHD!
With over a quarter million copies in print, You Mean I’m Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?! is one of the bestselling books on attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder ever written. There is a great deal of literature about children with ADHD, but what do you do if you have ADHD and aren’t a child anymore? This indispensable reference—the first of its kind written for adults with ADHD by adults with ADHD—focuses on the experiences of adults, offering updated information, practical how-tos, and moral support to help readers deal with ADHD.

Here’s what's new:
- The new ADHD medications and their effectiveness - The effects of ADHD on human sexuality - The differences between male and female ADHD—including falling estrogen levels and its impact on cognitive function - The power of meditation - ADHD coaching tricks and tips
And the book still includes the tried-and-true advice about:
- Achieving balance by analyzing one’s strengths and weaknesses - Getting along in groups, at work and in intimate and family relationships—including how to decrease discord and chaos - Learning the mechanics and methods for getting organized and improving memory - Seeking professional help, including therapy and medication
