ADHD in Adult Women

ADHD doesn’t care about gender. But somehow, the diagnosis often does. While males are more likely to get diagnosed and treated early on as boys, many girls grow up flying under the radar.

A diagnosis can finally give you clarity, tools, and strategies to live your best life.

Let’s break down why ADHD in women is often overlooked, what a late diagnosis can feel like, and what to do if you think it applies to you.
