The ADHD mind is a vast and unorganized library. It contains masses of information in snippets, but not whole books. The information exists in many forms — as articles, videos, audio clips, Internet pages — and also in forms and thoughts that no one has ever had before. But there is no card catalog, and the “books” are not organized by subject or even alphabetized.

Learn more about ADHD challenges, like why we're time challenged, why we don't always get things done, and why we are overwhelmed.

Too Few Doctors Screen Women for ADHD — and We Deserve Better

Too Few Doctors Screen Women for ADHD — and We Deserve Better Women with ADHD are often misdiagnosed with anxiety or mood disorder. Until psychiatrists learn to recognize ADD symptoms in girls, we have to take our mental health evaluations into our own hands. At the very least, we deserve a basic screening — and we must begin to demand it.
