ADHD and Addiction: Understanding the Hidden Link, Breaking the Cycle, and Building a Healthier Future
About this audiobook
Book Description
Why are people with ADHD more vulnerable to addiction?
The answer isn't a lack of willpower—it's the way the ADHD brain is wired.
In ADHD and Addiction, Sally Green explores the powerful connection between ADHD, dopamine and addictive behaviours in a clear, compassionate and evidence-informed way. Whether it's alcohol, drugs, gambling, shopping, gaming, social media or food, this audiobook explains why these behaviours can become so difficult to control and, more importantly, how recovery is possible.
You'll discover:
• Why ADHD increases the risk of addiction
• How dopamine drives cravings and impulsive behaviour
• The truth about ADHD medication and addiction
• Why many adults are diagnosed later in life
• Practical strategies to break unhealthy habits
• How to build healthier sources of motivation and reward
• Realistic recovery techniques that work with the ADHD brain—not against it
Whether you have ADHD yourself, support someone who does, or work as a healthcare or education professional, this audiobook provides practical insights, hope and understanding to help you break the cycle and build a healthier future.
Understanding your brain is the first step towards changing your life.
