Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder has three main primary symptoms under which every other symptom falls, including inattentiveness and hyperactivity or impulsivity, or a combination of the two. Boys and men primarily have the hyperactivity/impulsivity form of ADHD, while girls and women primarily have the less common inattentive form of ADHD. Because of this, it has always been assumed and believed that the condition was primarily found in young, school-aged boys. However, years of extensive research has proven that this is not the case. Medical professionals now believe that many women went undiagnosed as young girls, and this is the reason for the staggering numbers showing there to be so many more men and boys to have ADHD. In all reality, ADHD is likely pretty evenly spread between the genders. The reason that so many girls and women have gone undiagnosed is because so many of the inattentive symptoms can be easily explained away as character flaws or poor personality traits. Many girls are often misdiagnosed as well because ADHD symptoms can be so similar to many other conditions including anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. Thankfully, we are finally at a turning point and women are starting to get the help we have been needing. Many young girls have learned to withdraw and isolate from such an early age because they knew something was "off" but couldn't tell what. More medical professionals today are properly trained in diagnosing and treating women with ADHD than ever before.
