The stereotypical image of ADHD is someone bouncing off the walls, incapable of being still. However, women with ADHD are often a lot more inattentive than hyperactive. Motor symptoms of ADHD tend to go away at an early age for women, nevertheless, an underlying lack of mental focus remains. This can manifest itself in many ways such as:
- Disorganisation
- Troubles focussing
- Difficulties with short-term memory
- Difficulties with time management
- Chronic stress
- Low self-esteem
