Abstract in brief

  • Coexisting conditions and hormonal fluctuations can make diagnosing and treating ADHD in females more complex, requiring a gender-sensitive approach.
  • Proper recognition and tailored treatment are essential to address the unique challenges faced by adolescent girls and women with ADHD, as illustrated in the case of a 23-year-old female.]
