ADHD in Women
Please note that the tool above is only a screener and cannot offer a conclusive diagnosis. Diagnosis of ADHD requires a comprehensive assessment conducted by a qualified professional. Furthermore, not every individual describes symptoms of ADHD in the same way. For example, women with ADHD may answer yes to the following questions:
- Do you feel overwhelmed in stores, at the office, or at parties? Is it impossible for you to shut out sounds and distractions that don't bother others?
- Is time, money, paper, or "stuff" dominating your life and hampering your ability to achieve your goals?
- Are you spending most of your time coping, looking for things, catching up, or covering up? Do you avoid people because of this?
- Have you stopped having people over to your house because of your shame at the mess?
- Do you have trouble balancing your checkbook?
- Do you often feel as if life is out of control, that it's impossible to meet demands?
- Do you feel that you have better ideas than other people but are unable to organize them or act on them?
- Do you start each day determined to get organized?
- Have you watched others of equal intelligence and education pass you by?
- Do you despair of ever fulfilling your potential and meeting your goals?
- Have you ever been thought of as selfish because you don't write thank-you notes or send birthday cards?
- Are you clueless as to how others manage to lead consistent, regular lives?
- Are you called "a slob" or "spacey?"
- Are you "passing for normal?" Do you feel as if you are an impostor?
