Many women with ADHD go undiagnosed well into adulthood, often because their symptoms don’t look like the “typical” hyperactive ADHD seen in boys. Instead, women may experience inattentiveness, chronic disorganization, emotional overwhelm, and internalized stress—symptoms that are frequently misattributed to anxiety, depression, or just "not trying hard enough."

In this video, Dr. Dana Haywood, PhD, explores how ADHD presents differently in women, the reasons behind delayed or missed diagnoses, and the impact of hormones, masking behaviors, and societal pressures on ADHD symptom expression.

If you’ve been wondering whether ADHD could explain your struggles with focus, burnout, and emotional regulation, this video is a valuable resource.
