What exactly is ADHD, and how does it affect the brain? Whether you have ADHD, know someone who does, or just want to understand it better, this animated video breaks down Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in a simple and engaging way. Learn about the common signs, how ADHD impacts focus and impulse control, and the science behind it.
ADHD can impact any person regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, or gender. However, certain groups, such as girls and women, are still less likely to be diagnosed as early as boys. Earlier and accurate diagnosis increases access to timely, evidence-based interventions that can reduce the likelihood of serious difficulties for girls and women with ADHD, such as self-harm, unplanned pregnancies, and eating disorders.
The Duke Center for Girls & Women with ADHD is dedicated to raising awareness, advancing education, and conducting and supporting research on ADHD in girls and women. While the Center does not provide clinical services, its website offers valuable educational resources to help you better understand ADHD and find providers in your area.
