Researchers have made progress in understanding ADHD, a condition once thought to primarily affect boys. It is now known that ADHD presents differently in girls. This new understanding is a shift from previous views that saw ADHD as a childhood condition.

Many girls with ADHD remain undiagnosed until they reach adulthood. Further information on this topic is available from Texas Public Radio, based in Alamo Heights. They have reported on the unique aspects of ADHD in women and the associated health risks, although specific details are not provided here.
