Description du livre
ADHD is one of the most common neurological disorders in the United States - yet a staggering 75 percent of girls and women remain undiagnosed. Due to the gender gap in medical research, which does not account for symptoms manifesting differently in women - leading to increased problems with anxiety, depression, working memory, sleep, energy and concentration - many ADHD women are left to navigate a society that fails to understand their struggles and gifts. But what if every woman had the resources and support to uncover the hidden wonders of her neurodivergent brain?
