ADHD in women is often underdiagnosed due to the subtle presentation of symptoms. The same ADHD subtypes of inattentive, hyperactive and combined still occur but can look different. Women with ADHD can exhibit predominantly inattentive symptoms such as difficulty focusing, organising, and following through on tasks. Alternatively, women can be hyperactive, but it is more commonly a hyperactivity of the mind, not the body. This can manifest in women who are constantly on the go and juggling many things to stay stimulated. Impulsivity may present as interrupting or saying things without thinking, seeming to have no filter at times.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodivergent condition affecting millions of children and adults worldwide. Recent research has suggested a link between diet and traits such as inattention and hyperactivity: nutrient deficiencies can intensify ADHD characteristics. Of course, diet isn’t the complete solution, but ensuring a balanced diet can be a powerful tool alongside other ADHD supports.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) a neurodivergent condition which is characterised by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. But sometimes these same symptoms can point to something else entirely. There are several conditions that can mimic ADHD, and really need to be ruled out before confirming an ADHD diagnosis. Let's look deeper at ADHD and some conditions that present similarly.

Genetic SNP’s have been linked to neurodivergent presentations including ASD and ADHD. There are 1000’s of genetic SNPs and they can vary between individuals. Identifying which SNP’s are involved can allow for targeted support to address alterations in neurotransmitters in neurodevelopmental disorders and provide neuroaffirming support.
