ADD And The Female Brain – The Answers!

Over 17 million people in the United States have ADD. It is the most common learning and behavioral problem in children and one of the most common problems in adults, leading to job failures, relationship breakups, loneliness, drug abuse, and a tremendous sense of underachievement.

The hallmark symptoms of ADD are:

short attention span
distractibility
disorganization
restlessness
procrastination
impulse control

ADD is commonly thought of as a disorder of hyperactive, behaviorally troubled boys. Yet, it afflicts many girls who are often overlooked because they tend not to be as hyperactive and have fewer behavior problems.

In fact, although females have ADD in high numbers, males are diagnosed three to four times more than females. Missing ADD in females can have devastating lifelong effects on their health, mood, relationships, career, and finances.

Girls with ADD suffer more than 7 times the risk for both antisocial and mood disorders, three times the risk for addictive disorders, and twice the risk for anxiety disorders than those who do not have ADD. Additionally, they have a higher risk for eating disorders, such as bulimia and obesity.

But there’s good news—you are NOT stuck with the brain you have!

In this week’s short video, Dr. Daniel Amen and his wife Tana Amen talk about ADD and how it differs in males and females. They’ll also share practical tips that you can implement in your life right now.
