ADULT ADHD IN WOMEN
Diagnosing Adult ADHD in women is less common than in men, primarily due to the way symptoms present. There are various types of Adult ADHD – primarily inattention, hyperactivity, and a combination type. Hyperactivity ADHD is the easiest to recognize as there are obvious visual indicators; women tend to exhibit inattentive ADHD, which is a bit more difficult to identify. Women with Adult ADHD often have a difficult time focusing and paying attention to details and experience organizational challenges. Adult ADHD in women can cause feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem, thus sometimes being misdiagnosed as anxiety or depression.
