Study: ADHD in US women has almost doubled; nearly 20% increase in prescriptions for women in early 20s

I remember feminists saying for decades that men are inferior because of diseases or disorders like ADHD and the Y chromosome! 😊

There is more to gender equality than meets the eye or so they say!

I find ADHD kind of a nebulous disorder with lots of grey zone! It gives doctors too much discretion!

"While men have historically been more likely to be diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, a recent study shows women have been closing the gap, nearly doubling their number of diagnoses in recent years, according to a study reported by Fox News.
From 2020 to 2022, the number of American women ages 23 to 49 years old diagnosed with ADHD has nearly doubled. ...
"There are three main kinds of ADHD: inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive. The inattentive type is most common in girls. It doesn't always catch the attention of teachers and parents," a medically reviewed fact sheet says.
Adult ADHD can make it hard for women to handle day-to-day stress or keep their jobs reined in. It can also involve struggling to manage finances, complete household tasks, or care for children."
