ADHD in Girls and Women Goes Undiagnosed More Often Than in Boys ADHD in women and girls is less often recognized than in males. Many female patients use methods of coping to hide their symptoms, and they are the ones to suffer the consequences of their impairment. Some of these are low self-esteem as well as a tendency to engage in risky behaviours. Certain people suffer from "high-functioning ADHD", meaning that their symptoms don't interfere with their everyday lives.
