Why are women still diagnosed with ADHD years later than men?
Welcome to the next episode in our Research Recaps series, co-hosted with William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD.
In this episode, Skye and Will unpack one of the largest ADHD studies ever conducted, looking at more than 85,000 people in Sweden. The results show women are still being diagnosed almost four years later than men, with serious consequences for mental health and access to support.
What we cover:
- Why Swedish women are diagnosed nearly four years later than men
- How cultural stereotypes about ADHD still affect diagnosis
- The hidden cost of delayed diagnosis, including anxiety and depression
- Why masking makes ADHD harder to spot in women
- What this research means for the future of ADHD awareness and care
