ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is often associated with children, particularly boys. However, research and personal stories are revealing that women are also significantly affected by ADHD, though their symptoms and experiences may differ from those of men.
Women with ADHD often face unique challenges, including societal expectations, hormonal influences, and the pressure to maintain a perfect facade. These factors can lead to delayed diagnosis, as their symptoms might be masked by their ability to cope and adapt, or misattributed to other conditions such as anxiety or depression.
