Book Description
Winner of four national book awards! Revised First Edition, 2022 Is It You, Me, or Adult ADHD? has helped thousands of readers worldwide to understand how this highly variable syndrome affects them. Professionals and couples who have elevated their lives with its wisdom recommend it to others. In this highly endorsed, clearly written, and comprehensive guide, Gina Pera guides you in making sense of your own Adult ADHD Roller Coaster. She helps you to: —View ADHD as a variable syndrome affecting individuals, not clones —Realize how a later-in-life ADHD diagnosis creates additional issues —Revise misinterpretations of symptoms, forged long ago, that can thwart progress now —Heal poor coping responses and dysfunctional interaction cycles, as individuals and couples —Implement practical supports to completing routine tasks and reaching long-term goals, with teamwork! —Appreciate how poorly managed ADHD can also negatively affect the spouses and other loved ones. —Delve into "denial's" dual nature — physiological and psychological — and reach through it —Adopt proven approaches that remain extremely rare in clinical settings The science has been clear since 1994, when Adult ADHD was declared a medical diagnosis. Still, the public harbors misconceptions, and that means millions suffer needlessly. That includes millions of couples who can't understand why their lives together are so hard—often despite many attempts at therapy. The simple truth is: Everyone knows someone with adult ADHD. Yet we often misattribute the symptoms to anxiety, depression, or even laziness, selfishness, “addictive personality,” or moodiness. Some assume that ADHD means "little boys with ants in their pants." In fact, childhood hyperactivity goes "underground" as the person matures, resulting in a mentally restless state. Meticulously researched and written by Gina Pera, Is It You, Me, or Adult ADHD? helps you recognizing the behaviors where you least expect them and developing compassion for everyone wrestling with unrecognized ADHD symptoms. It also offers: —Explanations from preeminent experts —Plenty of real-life details —Easy-to-understand, detailed advice on the best treatment options and practical solutions. The revolutionary message is one of hope for millions of people—and a joyous opportunity for a better life.

Book Description
How does ADHD manifest itself in adult life? In general, the authors write, hyperactivity tends to diminish with age, impulsivity changes quality, and attention problems remain the same although they may become more disabling as organizational demands increase. The authors carefully answer the questions often posed by professionals and patients about these symptoms and other issues. They describe the diagnostic interview and the use of rating scales and include examples of the scales. They also provide a well-balanced review of associated psychiatric conditions, such as mood and anxiety disorders, Tourette's syndrome, oppositional and conduct problems, and substance abuse. Descriptions of all the primary approaches to treatment—medication, psychological therapies, and environmental restructuring—include vivid case examples.

Book Description
Since ADHD became a well-known condition, decades ago, much of the research and clinical discourse has focused on youth. In recent years, attention has expanded to the realm of adult ADHD and the havoc it can wreak on many aspects of adult life, including driving safety, financial management, education and employment, and interpersonal difficulties. Adult ADHD-Focused Couple Therapy breaks new ground in explaining and suggesting approaches for treating the range of challenges that ADHD can create within a most important and delicate relationship: the intimate couple. With the help of contributors who are experts in their specialties, Pera and Robin provide the clinician with a step-by-step, nuts-and-bolts approach to help couples enhance their relationship and improve domestic cooperation. This comprehensive guide includes psychoeducation, medication guidelines, cognitive interventions, co-parenting techniques, habit change and communication strategies, and ADHD-specific clinical suggestions around sexuality, money, and cyber-addictions. More than twenty detailed case studies provide real-life examples of ways to implement the interventions.

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The most common question asked by group members is whether their partner has ADHD, and the answer is usually yes. But some become confused by the apparent differences in reported behaviors and even grow doubtful of the ADHD diagnosis. #2 The current official term for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is Attention Deficit Disorder. However, it was established before we understood the true nature of the condition, because it seemed as though a lack of attention and/or surplus of physical restlessness were the problems. #3 The big three traits of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention show up in everyday life. They are difficult to understand, so ask your partner if they exhibit any of these traits. #4 If you’re impulsive, you have trouble delaying gratification. You don’t always think before you act. And you often make important decisions too quickly, based on scanty information or a failure to consider consequences.

Book Description
ADHD and Sex Newly revised 2023 From the leading expert on Adult ADHD and Relationships, Gina Pera. This is the first guide to understanding how poorly managed ADHD can interfere with sexual intimacy—and how to heal your relationship. "Gina, sex is difficult for people with ADHD; it's tough to stay focused!" says a female friend who has ADHD. Staying focused during intimacy is only one issue challenging couples affected by adult ADHD. Even many mental-healthcare professionals assume that sex constitutes an “ADHD Free” zone. That is, when it comes to sex, brain-based challenges with attention, organization, mood-regulation, or motivation don’t matter or—in the minds of skeptics—don’t even exist. Yes, sexual expression is yet another one of those areas—like sleep—where the public and professionals alike often fail to connect the dots to ADHD symptoms. As Gina Pera writes in her first book, Is It You, Me, or Adult A.D.D.?: "When ADHD does create significant sexual problems, it usually falls into two categories: The ADHD partner initiates sex all the time or almost never. In the sexual relationship as in elsewhere with ADHD, we encounter variable challenges in self-regulation and summoning motivation." In between these two extremes, always and never, there lies a range of ADHD-charged issues that can drive apart couples—if they don’t know what they’re dealing with or what strategies to implement. Ignorance about this critically important connection between ADHD and sexual intimacy creates enormous hurt. In this Kindle book (125 book pages), you will find four major sections: (1) An expanded version of Chapter 6 in Is It You, Me, or Adult A.D.D.?—detailing the myriad ways in which ADHD can affect the sexual relationship. Knowledge paves the path to problem-solving. (2) An eight-step strategy toward leaving the ADHD roller coaster and entering the Tunnel of Love (3) Post-Orgasm Irritability—A look at a common enough but little recognized phenomenon. It's one that leaves many people confused and stuck in a disturbing pattern. BONUS: Two downloadable books from the early 20th Century that address this post-orgasm phenomenon and promote overall relationship intimacy in an intriguing way. (4) Adults with ADHD and Their Partners Speak Out—a curated, categorized selection of comments on the first blog post ever on ADHD and Sex, in 2009. Along with Gina’s responses. Consider it the first step in finding community—and finding your voice.
