How ADHD Presents in Women: The Hidden Reality
You might feel like you are failing at being an adult. Your house is messy, your mind is racing, and you are constantly tired. It is not your fault. You are likely working with a brain that speaks a different language. For many women, the struggle is invisible to the outside world. You are not lazy, you are just working twice as hard to stay afloat.
What is it?
How ADHD presents in women is often internal rather than external. It is less about running around a room and more about a racing mind. It shows up as a struggle to regulate your attention, your emotions, and your energy levels throughout the day.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The ADHD brain has lower levels of dopamine activity in the prefrontal cortex. This is the part of the brain that acts like a CEO. In women, estrogen levels also affect how well these brain chemicals work. When estrogen drops, your ADHD symptoms often feel much stronger.
