Did you know that many women with ADHD don’t get diagnosed until adulthood—sometimes after they’ve struggled for decades?
ADHD in women doesn’t always look like hyperactivity. Instead, it often looks like:
- Feeling overwhelmed by daily tasks
- Forgetting appointments, deadlines, or conversations
- Chronic procrastination followed by “panic mode”
Let’s break down why ADHD in women is different—and how to get the support you need.
1. Women With ADHD Are More Likely to Be “People Pleasers”
Many women with ADHD develop perfectionist or people-pleasing tendencies to hide their struggles. Instead of being labeled as “hyperactive,” they’re seen as:
- “Too emotional”
- “Too sensitive”
- “Flaky” or “disorganized”
2. Hormones Make ADHD Symptoms Worse
ADHD symptoms often worsen during hormonal shifts like:
- Puberty & teenage years
- After pregnancy
- Perimenopause & menopause
This means that some women go their whole lives without ADHD treatment—until hormones make symptoms unbearable.
