In recent years, there's been an increase in the diagnosis of ADHD among women and girls. This trend can be attributed to a growing awareness of the disorder's subtle presentations, which often differ from the stereotypical hyperactive and impulsive behavior commonly associated with boys.

As clinicians and educators become more adept at identifying these nuanced symptoms, such as inattentiveness and emotional dysregulation, they're more likely to recognize and diagnose ADHD in females.

And, increased advocacy and public discourse surrounding mental health have contributed to a more inclusive understanding of ADHD, resulting in more women and girls receiving the support and resources they need.
