Gender aspects of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
An assessment of the manifestations of ADHD showed that at the age of 7-8 years, boys and girls with ADHD are characterized by approximately the same level of inattention, while girls differ in lower indicators of hyperactivity and impulsivity. In girls, both in primary school and in adolescence, a mild degree of the disease prevails. It has been shown that the ratio of boys and girls with ADHD-H is significantly lower compared to other types of ADHD. Girls with ADHD are characterized by less pronounced behavioral problems and a greater degree of prosocial behavior, while the high level of anxiety in adolescent girls with ADHD is noteworthy.
