Distracted: What life is like for women with ADHD

Why we have fireworks in our heads. Authors, who struggle with ADHD themselves, they write about dozens of women, whose lives are made more difficult by this diagnosis, and trying to show them the way, how to approach this problem. They're unfocused, exhausted, they're jumping in your face, they make impulsive decisions, he's not sleeping well, they forget their deadlines and don't show up on time. They cannot cope with the concurrence of duties - to take care of the household, to take care of the children, to fulfil their work duties... The environment considers them incapable, lazy. But they are not broken, their brains just work differently. They have ADHD, and they didn't get that diagnosis until they were adults. Authors, who are struggling with this diagnosis themselves, they write about dozens of women, whose ADHD makes life difficult, and trying to show them the way, how to approach this problem. They also bring the perspective of experts who discuss the various situations in which these women drown or, on the contrary, help them. They stress, that whether or not we carry this diagnosis, for all of us, that we can't get bogged down with work, sometimes we have to shut it down, to relax and take time for yourself.
