Rising Recognition of ADHD in Women

Recent discussions highlight the increasing recognition of ADHD in women, particularly those over 19 years old, challenging the assumption that ADHD predominantly affects boys. The disparity in diagnosis rates between genders suggests that societal perceptions and diagnostic biases have historically overlooked women's symptoms. The podcast notes that while children are typically diagnosed based on observable disruptive behavior, adults often seek help themselves, leading to increased identification of ADHD in women. Factors contributing to delayed diagnosis include societal expectations and biases, leading many women to internalize their difficulties.
