ADHD diagnoses on the rise, especially among women
ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is often associated with children who have trouble paying attention or controlling impulses, but new research has found a growing number of adult women are being diagnosed with ADHD later in life. New data suggests this may be because symptoms present differently in young boys and girls. KTVU's Alex Savidge speaks with Dr. Keith Sutton, Director of the Bay Area Center for ADHD about how symptoms can vary and why we are now seeing an uptick of diagnoses in women.
