Le #TDAH est sous-diagnostiqué chez les filles et les femmes. Être une femme est associé à un retard diagnostique de 4 ans. Lorsque le diagnostic est posé, les femmes ont plus de comorbidités et besoin de plus de soins. Étude transversale sur Stockholm. https://t.co/utO8spaJNC

Girls (and women) were 4 years older than comparable boys and men when diagnosed with ADHD. They also have a higher burden of psychiatric comorbidity, pharmacological treatment, and health care utilisation, compared to males with ADHD and female controls. https://t.co/w3kp4pBfv5
