As an adult woman recently diagnosed with ADHD, the sheer amount of information out there can be so overwhelming, but Healthy Happy ADHD is an amazing guide that makes it all feel a little more manageable. Lisa Dee does a fantastic job breaking things down in an ADHD-friendly way, offering realistic and adaptable advice for navigating life with ADHD.

One of my favorite parts was the discussion on ADHD and its connection to PMDD. This is so often overlooked, yet it’s a huge issue for so many women. Seeing it addressed so thoroughly made me feel seen in a way that few ADHD books have before.

That said, the book lost me a little when it veered into diet, exercise, and chemical exposure. While I get the importance of overall well-being, it sometimes felt like there was an implication that these factors were to blame for ADHD symptoms rather than tools to help manage them. That section didn’t resonate with me as much, but overall, the book provided incredible insights, helpful strategies, and a sense of understanding that’s invaluable.

If you’re an ADHD woman looking for a compassionate, practical guide that covers everything from executive dysfunction to self-compassion (and even those often missed hormonal connections), this book is absolutely worth picking up!

Thank you to NetGalley, Lisa Dee, and Rodale Books for the eARC of this book.
