ADHD and Women
In this video, Kristen McClure, a therapist specializing in ADHD in women, dives into the unique challenges ADHD women face, including late or misdiagnosis, emotional dysregulation, and societal pressures. October is ADHD Awareness Month, and Kristen highlights how symptoms in women are often masked or misinterpreted as anxiety, depression, or other mental health disorders. She also discusses how hormonal changes during adolescence, pregnancy, and menopause complicate diagnosis and emotional regulation. Learn about how masking, rejection sensitivity dysphoria, and neurodivergent burnout impact women with ADHD, and what can be done to support them.
