Millions of adult women struggle every day with disorganization, forgetfulness, indecision, difficulty listening to others, and mood challenges. While some of these women are diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), nearly half of the women who struggle with this disorder remain undiagnosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a long time, ADHD was characterized as a condition that affected young boys. Males tend to express hyperactive, impulsive symptoms, while females typically deal with inattention, lack of focus, and disorganization. Since the symptoms displayed in women are often less “disruptive”, some studies have shown that nearly 50% of women and young girls with ADHD symptoms are overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While males are diagnosed with ADHD more frequently, female patients suffer the same consequences, including poor work performance and behavior-related problems if ADHD is undiagnosed and untreated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article, we will discuss the signs of adult ADHD in women, why women often go undiagnosed, and how you can seek a diagnosis and treatment if you believe yourself to be one of the many women living with undiagnosed ADHD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
