Many women are getting diagnosed as adults because ADHD shows up differently in little girls.
In fact, often girls who were the "model student" were actually just skilled at masking. But at what cost to themselves?
The burdens of adulthood can reveal that masking has become too exhausting. That over-functioning is leading to depletion and shut-down.
ADHD in adult women often looks like:
• chronic overwhelm
• emotional intensity
• burnout from people-pleasing
• cycles of hyperfocus and exhaustion
• feeling capable and stuck at the same time
If this sounds all too familiar, therapy can be a place to unlearn the shame, understand your brain with compassion, and build supports that actually fit you—not who you were told to be.
