On “Mental Breakthroughs”, host Patricia Wu and guest psychologist Dr. Catherine Bailey discuss about how ADHD presents in women and girls.
ADHD Isn’t Just for Hyperactive Boys
Girls and women more often have the inattentive type of ADHD, marked by disorganization, difficulty focusing on everyday tasks, and trouble following through.
The Hidden Cost of Undiagnosed ADHD
When ADHD goes untreated in women, it can lead to feelings of inadequacy, overwhelm, and even mental health conditions like anxiety and depression.
Hope and Help for Women with ADHD
Diagnosis is the first step. Treatment options include therapy to develop coping strategies and medication to manage symptoms so women with ADHD can reach their full potential.
