Books
Kat Brown is a freelance journalist whose work on mental health stigma, and other social and arts commentary, has appeared in The Telegraph, Grazia, "Woman’s Hour", Woman’s Health and The Times. Her first book, No One Talks About This Stuff, is an anthology sharing people’s untold experiences of infertility and baby loss (Unbound, 2024). Her second book, It's Not A Bloody Trend, a guide to living with ADHD in adulthood, will be out the month before her first book with Little, Brown, which is a ridiculousness that her own ADHD mind really enjoys. She loves horse riding, The Archers, tarot, and quizzes and lives in south London with her husband, her dog, and two appalling cats.
Praise for IT'S NOT A BLOODY TREND:
'A sledgehammer of a book putting to bed all the cynicism and misinformation around a condition that affects so many hidden, brilliant people' - Professor Tanya Byron
'Laugh out loud funny and deeply validating - every person who thinks ADHD isn't real should read this book' - Leanne Maskell, author of ADHD: An A to Z

IT'S NOT A BLOODY TREND: Understanding Life as an ADHD Adult 2024 Robinson (Little, Brown) | Nobody should spend their life feeling defective. Everyone deserves to have a user manual to their brain - welcome to yours. Once associated more with hyper boys than adults, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is now recognised as a condition in need of a rebrand which affects people of all genders and ages in a multitude of ways. In this enlightening and definitive layman's guide, Kat Brown cheerfully smashes the stereotypes with scientific evidence, historical context, and practical support for ADHD minds across areas that can cause problems, from finances and work to self-medicating, relationships, hormones and self-esteem. Based on Kat's personal experience and extensive interviews with ADHDers and world-leading clinical experts, It's Not A Bloody Trend is for anyone wondering if what's always been 'wrong' with them might just be undiagnosed ADHD. |
