Publisher's summary

Understanding ADHD in Women provides years of research that proves why medical professionals no longer believe that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a condition only found in young, school-aged boys, as it was once believed. In fact, extensive research has proven that the inattentive form of ADHD, which the majority of women have, can be just as difficult, if not even more so, than the hyperactive/impulsive form, like the majority of men have. Multiple case studies clearly explain what ADHD can be like for women, its difficulties and strengths, and how to better manage your symptoms.

ADHD is not suddenly brought on in adulthood, but instead, many women are simply not diagnosed until adulthood; they either went undiagnosed or misdiagnosed in their earlier years - and this book explains exactly why, and also goes into the many other conditions that can closely resemble ADHD.

Understanding ADHD in Women is divided into 11 different main chapters, including:

• Hormones Affect ADHD During Different Stages of Life
• The Danger of Emotional Withdrawal
• Nine Ways ADHD May Put a Strain on Your Relationships
• Overwhelmed Mom Syndrome
• Adults with ADHD Face an Elevated Risk for These 34 Physical Health Conditions
• And Many Others!

You won't pause Understanding ADHD in Women until you have listened to the entire thing! With all of the information, tidbits of knowledge, case studies, and years of research, it will leave you thinking and pondering about it for days after.

Helpful for women with ADHD of all ages

This book did an excellent job of giving a broad overview of what ADHD looks like in adults, and then more specifically, in women. It then went into greater detail on why women struggle so much, why we often go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, and the many different concerns we have that men just don’t. It’s a must read for anyone who was diagnosed with ADHD in their late teens or adulthood!

Enjoyed this audiobook!

I have been struggling with studying for a certification exam for years, I've taken it twice and failed both times. Thanks to this guide, I feel I have the ability to truly study and remember the content. Thank you so much!

Very helpful

I can definitely relate to what the author is saying about my ADHD and that I really do need to find out what works best for me in making the best of my ADHD.

Good info

This book has some good basic information on womans adhd but the narration is very strange sounding.

Voice for Novels-Not Education

I would like to offer a different rating for this book, but I cannot stand the reader’s voice. It does not match the content of the book and while I was able to slog through a few chapters, it killed my sanity. Listen to a preview of the book if you can before getting and if you are in my shoes, get the kindle or paperback instead. It is what I ought to have done.

I can’t listen to this

I listened to the introduction and started chapter one but had to stop. Why is the narrator whining constantly? Especially given the subject of the book, the narrator needs to have a stronger and more confident voice.

Hell No

the narrator is absolutely a horrible choice for people with Adhd. Her cadence is maddeningly slow, her pronunciation is distracting. I couldn't sit through 2 minutes.

repeats herself 500 times in every chapter

horrible horrible reading she sounds like she's talking to a two-year-old and she repeats herself seriously like every other sentence is about how girls and women don't get diagnosed like boys and men. obviously we want to know the specifics about how ADHD presents in the female population not that the world is biased against the female population would definitely not recommend.
