The Hidden Signs of ADHD in Women with Dr. Gilly Kahn

In this episode, psychologist and author Dr. Gilly Kahn joins the podcast to discuss the hidden realities of ADHD in women, from emotional dysregulation and masking to late diagnosis, anxiety, and the stigma surrounding treatment. We dive into why so many girls and women are overlooked by clinicians, how ADHD presents differently in women, and the emotional toll of spending years feeling misunderstood. Dr. Kahn also explains the connection between ADHD and intense emotions, the impact of hormones and social conditioning, and why so many women are first misdiagnosed with anxiety or depression before finally getting answers. This conversation is validating, eye-opening, and deeply relatable for anyone navigating ADHD, parenting neurodivergent children, or trying to better understand themselves.
