Description

You know what to do. You just can't always make yourself do it.

If you have ADHD, you don't need to be fixed. You need to know that you are lovable, capable, and not alone--and you need a guide who actually understands how your brain works. This book is that guide.

You know you experience the world differently. Focusing for hours on one thing while being unable to start another makes no sense to most people. A small comment or setback can stay with you for hours. You know what you're supposed to do--and yet following through can feel impossible. There's a reason your brain behaves this way. And once you understand it, things start to make a lot more sense.

Your Brain's Not Broken has helped thousands of adults finally understand their ADHD brains. Now Dr. Tamara Rosier has written a new version for teens and young adults in language specifically for this stage of life and content that speaks directly to the developmental challenges you're facing. Using humor, relatable stories, and neuroscience-backed tools, she addresses the areas that challenge ADHD brains most at this age:
● Attention--why it works the way it does, and how to work with it instead of fighting it
● Motivation--why starting things is so hard, and what actually helps you get moving
● Emotions--why small things hit so hard, and how to build more stability without shutting down
● Follow-through--why finishing is its own challenge, and how to change that pattern

The result? Less confusion, self-doubt, and beating yourself up for things you don't fully understand yet. And more clarity, direction, and confidence as you navigate school, friendships, family, big emotions, and the life you're building next. An ideal resource for teens and young adults to read themselves--and for parents, counselors, and educators to recommend to the young people in their lives.

Your brain's not broken. This book will show you exactly why--and what to do with the one you have.
