ADHD in Girls and Women Often Looks Different

Attention is turning to how ADHD presents in girls and women, which often differs from the stereotypical hyperactive presentation seen in boys. Advocates highlight symptoms such as inattention, daydreaming, emotional sensitivity and masking, which frequently lead to missed or late diagnoses. Awareness campaigns are encouraging people to recognise these overlooked signs and seek assessment and support.
Why now: Growing awareness campaigns are pushing to close the gender gap in ADHD diagnosis and support.
