Why Is ADHD Missed in Girls?

For decades, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has been misunderstood as something mostly boys experience. In fact, boys are still 3 to 4 times more likely to be diagnosed than girls, reinforcing the mistaken belief that ADHD does not often affect females. As a result, countless girls quietly carry hidden struggles, believing there must be something deeply wrong with them personally, rather than realising their brains simply work differently.
