ADHD and Depression in Women

"I was diagnosed with Clinical Depression, but it was actually ADHD!" So many women are misdiagnosed. They are struggling to get through the day and are misdiagnosed with Depression. And it takes months, even years, before a doctor finally identifies the problem is Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Why is this such a common scenario? First, the symptoms do overlap: tired, frustrated, overly sensitive, overwhelmed, can't get things done. If the doctor doesn't ask, "How long has this been going on?" then Depression seems like a natural explanation Second, there is still a lingering belief that ADHD is a problem with rambunctious boys. Or that kids grow out of it. Third, girls are socialized to be ladylike and behave, so they are more likely to become people pleasers and work harder not to fail. Finally, let's face it, growing up with undiagnosed ADHD can be a depressing and anxiety inducing challenge. In fact, over half of the folks diagnosed with ADHD will at some point experience depression. And 30 to 40 percent of individuals diagnosed with depression also have ADHD. Unfortunately many woman end up on Depression medication, while spending time and money getting therapy for Depression. Three of my favourite ADHD specialists reveal how undiagnosed ADHD is so disabling for women, and why they found getting a proper diagnosis was so liberating.
