For years, ADHD has been misunderstood, especially in women. It’s not always hyperactivity or loud behaviour. It can be quiet, masked, and mistaken for anxiety, stress, peri, meno or simply not coping.
Here are four things we hear all the time:
- "You were good at school, it can’t be ADHD."
- "You don’t seem hyper or disruptive."
- "You’re just anxious or burnt out."
- "You’ve made it this far, why bother now?"
Sound familiar? These assumptions are exactly why so many women go undiagnosed. ADHD in women often flies under the radar misread, misunderstood, or mistaken. You’re not imagining it. Diagnosis can be the first step to clarity and self-understanding.
Our psychologists understand how ADHD can look in women and we're here to help!
