Nowhere girl : life as a member of ADHD's lost generation / by Ciccone, Carla,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Why is a generation of women only now discovering they have ADHD? In Nowhere Girls, a journalist weaves her personal story with a broader investigation into the rise of ADHD diagnoses, and explores the transformative power of finally coming to understand your own brain. When freelance science journalist Carla Ciccone became a mother, she realized she might need to finally see a therapist. Sure, she had struggled to hold down a job for most of her adult life, but she'd always made it work. But "making it work" wasn't going to cut it now that she had a human being to raise. Months into therapy, at age thirty-nine, Carla was officially diagnosed with ADHD, and she learned that she was far from alone: the number of women Carla's age who were being diagnosed with ADHD had more than doubled in recent years. In the U.S., the rate at which women between the ages of fifteen and forty-four filled ADHD medication prescriptions rose 344 percent between 2003 and 2015, with similar trends in Canada and the U.K. Worldwide, Google searches for "ADHD women" started climbing in April of 2020 and haven't come back down since. In Nowhere Girls, Ciccone recounts her experience living for decades with undiagnosed ADHD and examines the rise of diagnoses and the women who were "nowhere" -- left out of the pages of medical research that should have included them. She looks back at the classrooms of the 1990s, where mostly little boys unable to sit still were diagnosed with ADHD, shifts her gaze to the hormonal upheavals of adolescence and their unique effects on the neurochemistry of girls, and then examines her own chaotic entrance into motherhood and her desire to do right by her daughter. Throughout, she explores the science and cultural history of ADHD and considers how the hundreds of thousands of women now being diagnosed can revisit their own personal histories and navigate their way towards a steadier, happier adulthood. Written with humour and heart, Nowhere Girls is a revelatory book about a historic gap in women's health and an empowering balm for women who recognize themselves in these pages"--

Lizzie Blake's best mistake : a novel / by Eddings, Mazey,author.;
"Mazey Eddings mixes passion and humor to create a luscious love story between two people stumbling through life and learning to open their hearts in Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake. Lizzie has made endless mistakes. Kitchen fires, pyramid schemes, bangs (of the hair and human variety), you name it, she's done it ... and made a mess of it too. One mistake she's never made is letting anyone get closer to her than a single hook-up. But after losing yet another bakery job due to her uncontrolled ADHD, she breaks her cardinal rule and has a two-night-stand that changes everything. Once burned, twice shy, Rake has given up on relationships. And feelings. And any form of intimacy for that matter. Yet something about charming, chaotic Lizzie has him lowering his guard. For two nights, that is. Then it's back home to Australia and far away from the pesky feelings Lizzie pulls from him. But when Lizzie tells him she's got an unexpected bun in the oven, he'll do whatever it takes to be a part of his child's life ... except be emotionally vulnerable, obviously. He's never going to make that mistake again. Through a series of mishaps, totally "platonic" single bed sharing, and an underground erotic baking scheme, Lizzie and Rake learn that even the biggest mistakes can have the most beautiful consequences."--provided by publisher.

ADHD nation : children, doctors, big pharma, and the making of an American epidemic / by Schwarz, Alan,1968-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A groundbreaking and definitive account of the widespread misdiagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder--and its serious effects on children, adults, and society. More than 1 in 7 American children are getting diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)--three times what experts have said is appropriate--making it one of the most mishandled and debated conditions in medicine. The numbers are rising every year. Now doctors and Big Pharma are targeting adults and the rest of the world to get diagnosed with ADHD and take medications that will "transform their lives." In ADHD Nation, Alan Schwarz takes readers behind the scenes to show the roots and rise of this cultural and medical phenomenon: There's the father of ADHD, Dr.Keith Conners, who spends fifty years pioneering the disorder and use of drugs like Ritalin before realizing his role in what he now calls "a national disaster of dangerous proportions"; a troubled young girl and studious, teenaged boy who get entangledin the growing ADHD machine and take medications that cause them serious problems; and a pharmaceutical industry that egregiously overpromotes the disorder and earns billions from the mishandling of children (and now adults). While demonstrating that ADHD is real and can be successfully medicated, Schwarz sounds an alarm and urges America to wake up and address this growing national problem"--
