ADD or ADHD starts in childhood. Boys tend to have the hyperactive type, so they get diagnosed or punished or expelled, whatever, they get noticed. Girls tend to have the “inattentive” type, they just sit there and daydream and don’t cause anyone any trouble and get ignored. Both grow up and often to continue to have their symptoms although the hyperactivity tends to diminish. But women will have the self esteem, self image, and shame problems, and they will tend to have trouble educationally, occupationally, relationships, and otherwise. They are not as easy to diagnose, but proper treatment can be extremely helpful.
