| Externalized struggles / substance use | Internalized struggles / perfectionism | Depression |
“The options for an older woman with ADHD, anxiety, and depression were limited. The area where I live seems to only address children and teens with ADHD. ADHD Online was willing to give me an assessment that would allow me to get treatment and medication to help me. I’m so grateful!”
Empower yourself with insight and support
Women with ADHD are often incredibly creative, intuitive, and resilient. With proper diagnosis and support, these strengths can shine even brighter.
