ADHD doesn’t always look like what you think, especially in women.

While ADHD is often associated with hyperactivity and impulsivity in children, its symptoms in women can be much more subtle and easily overlooked.

Many women with ADHD aren’t diagnosed until adulthood, if at all.

Why?

Because in women, ADHD often shows up as:

Chronic forgetfulness or disorganization

Difficulty focusing in noisy or busy environments

Frequent emotional overload

Persistent feelings of underachievement

Fatigue from years of masking symptoms

These challenges are realand they’re not character flaws.
They’re signs of a neurodevelopmental disorder that’s often missed due to outdated diagnostic models centered on how ADHD presents in boys.

In our blog, we explore:
- How ADHD symptoms manifest differently in women
- Why so many go undiagnosed
- How to seek proper support and treatment

If this resonates with you or someone you know, you’re not alone, and you’re not “too late” to get help.

Summer isn’t easy for everyone.

Choosing the right psychiatrist is an important step toward prioritizing your mental health

It’s not just about finding a provider with the right credentials.

Here are a few tips that can help guide the process:

Ask for referrals from your primary care provider or trusted friends

Check your insurance to narrow down in-network options

Look into the psychiatrist’s experience and approach to care
