- Hidden in plain sight: delayed ADHD diagnosis among girls and women – a commentary on Skoglund et al. (2023) Jessica C. Agnew‐Blais Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry Skoglund et al. ( Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry , 2023) finds women with ADHD experience a nearly 4‐year delay in receiving an ADHD diagnosis compared to men, despite also having high rates of prior contact with the mental health care system. In this commentary, I discuss the findings of Skoglund et al. and how they shed light on possible explanations for this diagnostic delay among women, and the need to consider women‐specific issues, like times of hormonal change, in ADHD diagnosis and treatment. 10.1111/jcpp.14023 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
