@drmaryclaire: For decades, ADHD research focused primarily on young boys. As a result, many girls with ADHD didn't fit the expected picture and were never recognized. ✨ Head to the link in bio to listen to the full unPAUSED episode with Dr. Sasha Hamdani, where we discuss why ADHD has been missed in so many women, how symptoms differ between girls and boys, and what to do if you recognize yourself in this conversation. Instead of being disruptive in class, many girls present with inattentive symptoms. They may be quiet, organized enough to get by, helpful, or labeled as daydreamers. Because they aren't drawing attention to themselves, their struggles are often overlooked. Many women don't recognize the signs until adulthood, sometimes while helping their own child through an ADHD evaluation. By then, they've spent years believing they just needed to try harder. Understanding that ADHD can look different in women is an important step toward getting the right support. #ADHD #WomenWithADHD #Perimenopause #MentalHealth #ExecutiveFunction
