You know, as they get older, having addictions, being in trouble with the police, all of these sort of stereotypes.
And they're being transferred to women and girls and therefore women and girls are being missed.
So I think the biggest travesty for me in this is not that, you know, women have ADHD because actually that's not, that shouldn't be a barrier to anything.
We make it a barrier because we're diagnosing women late.
We're missing them.
We're mislabelling them, which is even worse.
We're diagnosing them with anxiety, stress, depression, medically sort of unexplained symptoms.
And we're not getting to the nub of the problem.
And that's what we need to start doing, really.
And I think if we can do that, we can open up a whole world of opportunities for girls and women with ADHD.
It's huge.
It's absolutely huge.
And this is what happens when I see women in perimenopause or menopause.
We're not just identifying that they've got ADHD at that point in time.
We're opening up a whole can of worms about what's gone before.
All the missed opportunities, all the misinterpretations, the mislabelling.
Many women are carrying that with them when they come into my room with perimenopause and it becomes evident that there's something else going on here.
And I think what we are not very good at in medicine is thinking, well, okay, this lady may have anxiety, burnout, depression.
I'm not saying the two can't coexist.
But I think perhaps what we're not good at in women particularly is looking at what's the thread running through this?
