The Importance of Understanding ADHD in Women

ADHD often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed in women due to variations in symptom presentation. While men typically exhibit hyperactive symptoms, women may display more internalized behaviors such as daydreaming and inattention. This discrepancy can lead to women being overlooked in terms of diagnosis, as their symptoms can be mistaken for lack of interest or forgetfulness.
