The Great Hidden Diagnosis: Why So Many Women Are Missed

ADHD and AuDHD in women is one of the most overlooked and misunderstood areas in mental health.

This episode explores how girls learn to mask early, how emotional overwhelm gets dismissed as “sensitivity” and why so many women spend years collecting misdiagnoses before reaching the truth.

We talk about identity, internalisation, shame frameworks and the quiet exhaustion of holding everything together while feeling like you’re falling apart inside.

They are evidence-based and neurodiversity-affirming summaries and are not a substitute for personalised medical advice - informational purposes only.
