ADHD in girls and women often looks different than it does in men and boys. This different presentation — which is typically not what most people think of when they picture a person with ADHD — has contributed to girls and women being misdiagnosed or missed altogether resulted in missed opportunities for proper ADHD intervention. During this session, Dr. Julia Schechter, clinical psychologist at the Duke ADHD Program and co-director of the Duke Center for Girls & Women with ADHD, talks about what ADHD looks like in girls and women, the unique risks for girls and women when ADHD goes untreated, and what is needed to better support girls and women with ADHD across the lifespan.
