The symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults usually look different from those in children - although the image of the classic “fidgety kid” is also long outdated. But why do we know so little about ADHD in adults? Why is the road to a diagnosis so long? And why are girls and women in particular often diagnosed so late or incorrectly?
In Chaos in My Head, Angelina Boerger answers these and other questions. She sheds light on the most common prejudices about people with ADHD, reports on the latest scientific findings – and writes about her everyday life with a light touch and lots of humor: from learning crises during her university years and bus rides to the wrong side of town, mood swings and sleep disorders, to bursting with ideas and creative potential. Because the brains of people with ADHD simply tick a little differently – but who says that’s a bad thing anyway?
