Integrative literature review – the impact of ADHD across women’s lifespan
The findings highlight the urgent need to improve awareness of specific ADHD presentations in women and girls and better training for healthcare providers, aiming for earlier diagnosis and comprehensive individualised, tailored treatment strategies. Future research should focus on understanding the interplay between ADHD and its comorbidities, as well as exploring sex specific treatment options to improve health outcomes for women with ADHD.
