The ADHD Coach can help with managing your ADHD

Thu, Sep 10, 2026

People often question why so many people are being diagnosed with ADHD these days. There are a few reasons. Firstly, there is much more awareness of ADHD nowadays. For those currently in their forties, fifties and above, there was no awareness of ADHD when they attended school.

When awareness began to increase, ADHD was predominantly thought to affect young boys in terms of hyperactivity. This meant that girls tended to fall under the radar, which meant that many young girls who had inattentive ADHD were not diagnosed. This has changed now, as teachers have much more awareness of the symptoms of ADHD.
