  1. Synopsis of ADHD in Girls and Women ADHD, a complex but common childhood neurobehavioral disorder, is characterised by executive dysfunction causing hyperactivity- impulsivity, inattention, or combined. Understanding ADHD in girls and women is crucial to the overall understanding of the disorder. Do Boys Have More ADHD Than Girls? It’s a myth that boys are more likely to have ADHD than girls. The reason is simple. ADHD differs across different domains in boys and girls, manifesting differently in both. The ratio of ADHD in men is two fold higher than in women because women get less frequently diagnosed than men. In girls, the identification of ADHD gets challenged because of their less disruptive and more inhibited behaviour. Girls tend to hide externalising symptoms (impulsivity, hyperactivity) fearing getting stigmatized. Symptoms Previously people confused symptoms of ADHD in girls with their “girly habits.” For instance being shy and less impulsive were attributed to their being “well-behaved.” The following symptoms could be signs of ADHD in girls: ● Less attention regulation ● In attention ● Hyper talkative ● Verbal impulsivity ● Unmotivated ● Forgetful ● Appears careless Diagnosis And Treatment Childhood/initial diagnosis is done by teacher and parent rating. Medical experts identify symptoms accompanied by an analysis of medical and family history. Evidence-based treatment either pharmaceutical or non-pharmaceutical is conducted depending on factors like severity of the disorder, results of diagnosis, age and sometimes gender. CTA
