ADHD symptoms don’t stay the same across the month. For women, hormones play a big role in how focus, mood, and energy show up.

At our clinic, we take hormones into account when planning ADHD care. That means helping you:

1. Track cycle patterns

2. Anticipate symptom spikes

3. Align goals with your strongest phases

4. Build supports for the harder days

Managing ADHD with hormones in mind reduces shame, builds confidence, and helps women work with their biology instead of against it.

Research shows that women are more likely than men to seek help for mental health concerns.

They’re often the leaders in mental health action:

1. Reaching out to a therapist or doctor

2. Exploring treatment options

3. Joining peer support groups

4. Openly discussing challenges with friends or family

This willingness to act doesn’t mean the path is easy—stigma and bias remain real barriers. But it shows women’s profound strength: turning awareness into action, and resilience into recovery.

By supporting women in this journey, we normalize help-seeking and make mental health care more accessible for everyone.

Many people with ADHD live with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) — an intense emotional pain triggered by perceived criticism, rejection, or failure. Studies suggest 70–99% of adults with ADHD experience RSD in some form.

For women, this is often misunderstood. Emotional sensitivity, mood swings, or fear of abandonment linked to ADHD + RSD can resemble symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). And because BPD is far more frequently diagnosed in women than men, ADHD in women is sometimes overlooked while BPD is applied instead.

This pattern has been called a form of sexist misdiagnosis: emotional struggles in women are often framed as a “personality flaw” rather than understood through the lens of ADHD and brain wiring.

The impact? Women spend years questioning themselves, feeling stigmatized, and missing out on ADHD-informed treatment and support that could actually help.

Recognizing RSD and ADHD in women isn’t just about accuracy — it’s about equity, compassion, and giving women the tools to thrive.
