“Is this an ADHD thing?”
This question comes up a lot!
It’s hard to say because there is a wide spectrum on how ADHD symptoms present in your day to day activities. At the same time, there is so much value in knowing you aren’t the only one struggling with something.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing the themes that I see in the symptoms of ADHD in women that I work with so that you can feel comfortable in knowing how ADHD shows up in women in real life.
Included in this episode is a checklist of ADHD symptoms that you can fill out and take with you to your doctor appointment, so you can feel confident and prepared to ask about an ADHD diagnosis.
This list is particularly helpful for women who don’t present the typical ADHD symptoms, so if you’re curious about inattentive ADHD or how successful, high-achieving women with graduate degrees have ADHD, this episode is for you!
This episode is part of our Best Of Series, and originally aired in September 2022 as episode 158.
