Amplified emotions.
Its weird but I was reading the other day and women are diagnosed way less than men with ADHD because they dont show the same symptoms. Like I just read how ADHD amplifies emotions. Like emotional disregularion Im not diagnosing myself but its something to think about. Most girls with adhd are like chatter boxes and shit that they never shut up and its really interesting thinking of all the women who arent diagnosed. What if I do have ADHD its so weird.

It is common for girls to get diagnosed less because of the difference in how they experience symptoms. For example, it may be boys who have so excited and run around the house for hours every day, and a girl who may be tapping her leg constantly to get out that energy. And it could be the other way around for a lot of people but what I have noticed is that people assume that the way energy is released has a factor on if they are or are not diagnosed and that is not true!!! My own counselor didn't notice for a long time that anything was wrong until someone else went to him and brought up the symptoms. Sometimes it is so hard because of the stigma in mental health and in psychology that it can be really hard to actually make sure that everyone actually gets what they need to succeed!! There is always someone here you can talk to about it.
