Living with ADHD as an adult

Describing living with ADHD in a television interview, the musician Shaun Ryder said it was like having “a box of frogs" in his head. My husband describes it as never being able to turn off, like having dozens of windows open in a browser simultaneously and them all playing something different. Choosing what to eat, planning, shopping, and cooking can be a huge challenge with all that background noise.

This section includes facts about ADHD, the role of nutrition, and practical guidelines on how to plan, cook, and eat well. Each section will start with a summary of all the information on that page, so you don't have to read the whole thing to get the point. Longer explanations, with footnotes linking to the science, are included if you like to know the 'why' as well as the 'what'.
