Understanding ADHD
ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a condition that affects how people think, feel, and behave.
If you have ADHD, you might find yourself constantly fidgeting, feeling restless, acting on impulse, or getting frustrated easily. On the other hand, focusing on tasks can be a challenge—you may feel distracted, forgetful, or like your mind is always drifting elsewhere.
Everyone experiences ADHD differently, so if any of this sounds familiar, know that you're not alone.

How does ADHD
differ in Women?
ADHD in women is often missed or misunderstood, as it can appear differently than in men.
Men and boys are more often seen as hyperactive or impulsive, making their ADHD easier to spot.
Women, however, are likely to quietly struggle with focus, intense emotions, anxiety, or low self-esteem, without recognition or help.

These differences mean that many women aren’t diagnosed until adulthood - often after a child receives an ADHD diagnosis or during life transitions like university, parenthood, or career changes.
Understanding these unique patterns is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective support.
Without diagnosis and treatment, ADHD can lead to difficulties in both professional and personal life. Identifying the symptoms and seeking support can make a significant difference in overall well-being.
