Pediatrician Arti Lal discusses her article, "Why ADHD in women is finally getting the attention it deserves." She explores why new ADHD diagnoses nearly doubled for adult women from 2020 to 2022 and the unique barriers they face in getting proper care. Arti explains how historical gender biases have led to misdiagnosis, as female hyperactivity often presents as internal racing thoughts or chattiness rather than the classic external restlessness seen in boys. The conversation delves into the significant, under-studied impact of hormonal cycles on symptom severity, from the menstrual cycle to menopause. To overcome diagnostic challenges and provide personalized care, Arti advocates for integrating objective, data-driven testing alongside subjective assessments. This approach not only provides a clearer clinical picture but also validates the lived experiences of women who may have internalized their symptoms as character flaws for years.
