If as a woman you don't fit the criteria, which is infact very common, this does not mean you are not neurodivergent.

🔹️The diagnostic criteria were developed based on research in males, leading to a diagnostic bias that often overlooks how ADHD symptoms manifest in females. 

🔹️Unique Female Symptoms Not in DSM: Research indicates that characteristics common in women with ADHD, such as low self-esteem, difficulty with peer relationships, and emotional dysregulation, are not explicitly included as core diagnostic criteria in the DSM-5.

🔹️The inattentive symptoms in women are often misattributed instead to anxiety, depression, or mood disorders such as EUPD.

Womens traits are often shaped by trauma, hormones, identity, culture and a lifetime of sophisticated masking and copying mechanisms.

🔹️Due to these factors, women are often diagnosed much later in life (often in their late 30s or 40s during peri & menopause) compared to boys (around age 7).

MENS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS - it's not a weakness to speak out and express you are struggling.

22/03/2025

Addiction is not about people being weak-minded. It’s far more complicated.

You don't need to hit "rock bottom" to get better, and treatment does work.

You are not broken, you don't need fixing, you just need to be heard in a safe space where you feel you won't be judged but given time to process and heal.
