Description
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder. It is primarily misdiagnosed or undiagnosed in women until adulthood is reached. There are multiple effective therapies available once a diagnosis of ADHD is made. These include, but are not limited to, stimulant prescription medications, complementary and alternative medicine therapies (CAM) and gut health. Complementary and alternative medicine therapies can include meditation/spiritual health, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), holistic/herbal medicine, exercise/yoga, and diet and dietary supplements. More research on gender differences in ADHD could decrease the misdiagnosis of women who have ADHD and offer more treatment options once a diagnosis is made.
