AEHistorically, ADHD was believed to primarily affect boys, leading to many women going undiagnosed for years due to less visible symptoms. Recent data indicates a significant increase in ADHD diagnoses among women aged 23–49, though they remain underdiagnosed compared to men. Dani Hakim, diagnosed at 35, and Lorna King, who experienced similar challenges, highlight how ADHD symptoms can manifest internally, often mistaken for anxiety. Their shared experiences inspired the creation of the 'Fast Brained Women' podcast, aimed at discussing the lived realities of ADHD in women.
