""Look at if you look at the like average age of diagnosis for males 6 to 8, for females, 35.""
Dr Sasha Hamdani claims the average age of ADHD diagnosis is around 6–8 for males versus about 35 for females, arguing women are often misdiagnosed with anxiety or depression or dismissed as “hormonal”. She attributes the gap to diagnostic criteria based on hyperactive boys, hormonal effects on dopamine, and social pressures that lead girls and women to mask symptoms.
