In recognition of Women’s Health Month, ADDitude is advocating for more research on women with ADHD. Currently, there is a significant lack of research on ADHD in women, leading to a lack of critical interventions for managing symptoms. This initiative aims to highlight the need for research that accurately reflects the experiences of girls and women with ADHD across their lifespan, from puberty to menopause and beyond.
By understanding the sex differences in ADHD and addressing the lack of research in this area, diagnostic and treatment outcomes for women with ADHD can be improved. The Women Demand Attention initiative encourages individuals to download a free calendar with actionable steps to promote gender equality in health research. This calendar will provide insights on ADHD in women, with one task for each day in May 2024.
Julia Schechter, Ph.D., from the Duke Center for Girls and Women with ADHD, emphasizes the importance of research specifically devoted to this population. She notes that it is not only an equity issue but also a matter of life or death for some girls and women. Join the movement to demand gender equity in research and support greater understanding and treatment for women with ADHD.
