ADHD looks different in women, and too many women are still overlooked, misunderstood, or diagnosed later in life.
In the newest episode of ADHDtime on Air, I had the honor of speaking with Dr. Kathleen Nadeau, an award-winning clinical psychologist, author, and longtime leader in the field of ADHD in girls and women.
We discussed why girls and women often go unnoticed, the enormous effort that can go into masking and compensating, and why meaningful ADHD support must look beyond a checklist of symptoms.
Our conversation also explores:
• How our environment can intensify or reduce ADHD-related challenges
• Practical ways to simplify daily life
• Why treatment should focus on quality of life
• The importance of movement, connection, and community
• The need for better professional training in ADHD across the lifespan
We also talked about her new book, A Clinician’s Guide to ADHD in Women: Diagnosis and Treatment, written with Patricia Quinn, MD, and Michael Morse, MD.
