As a result, countless women are struggling to manage symptoms such as disorganization, impulsivity, and inattention, which can significantly impact their personal and professional lives. With the stigma surrounding ADHD slowly lifting, experts are sounding the alarm about the need for increased awareness and diagnosis of this often-overlooked condition in women."
