What to Know About Women and ADHD with Dr. Gilly Kahn | Ep. 160
Q: What should families look for when they suspect ADHD in their daughter and how should they approach diagnosis?
Families should consider whether there has already been a formal diagnosis, whether a psychiatrist was involved, and what the child's specific needs and questions are, recognizing that testing is case by case and may require second opinions rather than relying on a single impression.
