ADHD in Women

ADHD in women is frequently overlooked because it can look like chronic overwhelm, anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, or "coping" that secretly costs a fortune in energy - especially when masking is involved. This category focuses on how ADHD presents differently in women across life stages, including inattentive and high-functioning profiles, and how hormones can meaningfully shift symptoms (menstrual cycle changes, perimenopause, menopause). If you're trying to connect the dots on why your symptoms fluctuate or why you were missed earlier in life, start here for explanations, patterns, and evidence-based pathways to support.
