Particularities of ADHD in Girls
ADHD in girls has been the subject of research and publications in recent years that highlight characteristics distinguishing it from ADHD in boys. ADHD in girls can easily go unnoticed; they are often faced with challenges that are difficult to overcome during adolescence, when hormonal changes have a significant impact on ADHD symptoms. At this stage, symptoms of anxiety and depression often begin to appear, which are frequently the primary reason for referral along with learning difficulties. It is important to have a good understanding of the manifestations and consequences of ADHD in girls on a personal, social, academic, and family level in order to properly assess, support, and intervene.
