How is ADHD in girls and women different from boys/men?

ADHD in girls and women is often overlooked and under-diagnosed, as it tends to manifest differently compared to boys/men. Girls and women with ADHD may struggle with inattentiveness and difficulties with executive functioning, such as organization and time management, rather than the hyperactive and impulsive behaviors that are typically associated with ADHD in boys/men. These differences can lead to girls and women with ADHD being misdiagnosed with anxiety or depression, and missing out on the appropriate support and treatment for their ADHD symptoms.
