Understanding ADHD in Women

Women with ADHD often face unique challenges that differ from their male counterparts, leading to a need for tailored support. The conversation highlights the importance of recognizing these differences, particularly when it comes to the social and emotional effects of ADHD on women. Many women might receive a later diagnosis, causing a lifetime of misunderstanding and self-doubt regarding their behaviors and thought patterns.
