For every 9 boys diagnosed with ADHD, there’s one girl diagnosed. But ADHD isn’t a gender-related condition. It’s that girls and women are so under-diagnosed. One of the reasons is because our symptoms look completely different from the hyperactive boy we all remember from elementary school. In fact, lots of women with ADHD did very well in school, are successful adults with good careers and generally appear to really have their lives together. Case in point—Carolyn! So in today’s episode, you’re getting a look behind the curtain of Carolyn’s mind. And you may find you relate. Let’s dive in.
