UNDERSTANDING ADHD IN WOMEN AND GIRLS: Presented by Dr. Ashley Junghans-Rutelonis
There are 116,220 combinations of symptoms within a diagnosis of ADHD. Many of us have a specific picture in our mind of what ADHD looks like but it is time we challenge that picture. ADHD has historically been diagnosed in boys (13%) more than girls (6%) but rates of female diagnoses are rising, especially between the ages of 23 and 49. Given females with ADHD are not a homogeneous group, professionals and the general public will benefit from additional training on identification, the diagnosis process, and changes across the lifespan. Learn about types of ADHD, components of assessment, what we know about ADHD in girls and women, and treatments that work.
