Living with undiagnosed ADHD in childhood profoundly impacts self-esteem, mental health, well-being, and relationships; a diagnosis improves self-acceptance, according to new research on women.
“Things were very confusing for me in middle school, high school, and college before I was diagnosed with ADHD,” one respondent said. “I would test into advanced academic courses but do poorly in them. I was confused. Am I smart or not smart?”
“Women in these studies had difficulty with emotionally close relationships, intimacy, and the ability to share emotions with others without losing their own identity,” researchers wrote. “I believe the forgetfulness of ADHD and my tendency towards rumination and self-doubt kept me with my abuser longer, as it contributed to second-guessing myself,, self-blame, and not trusting what I saw or valuing how I felt,” another survey respondent said.
