Women with ADHD face specific challenges, whether managing their symptoms, navigating the professional world, or flourishing in their relationships. The impacts of their disorder on their self-esteem, mental health, and well-being are profound and yet rarely acknowledged.
What are the specific symptoms of ADHD in women? How can it be diagnosed? How can one learn to manage it and explain it to those around them? And above all, how can it be turned into a strength? In this book, the author addresses the topic from a specific perspective, highlights the difficulties faced by women affected by ADHD, and above all provides solutions and concrete tools to live better with the disorder and transform it into an asset.
Having faced this disorder herself, Pascale De Coster has a concrete understanding of the needs of women who struggle daily with their ADHD. Through testimonies, she explores every facet of women's lives: childhood, adolescence, diagnosis, misunderstanding, the judgments they encounter, and their daily lives as women, partners, and mothers.
