In this week's short video, Dr. Daniel Amen and his wife Tana Amen talk about ADHD and how it differs in males and females. They'll also share practical tips that you can implement in your life right now. ADHD is commonly thought of as a disorder of hyperactive, behaviorally troubled boys. Yet, it afflicts many girls who are often overlooked because they tend not to be as hyperactive and have fewer behavior problems.

In fact, although females have ADHD in high numbers, males are diagnosed three to four times more than females. Missing ADHD in females can have devastating lifelong effects on their health, mood, relationships, career, and finances. Females with ADHD suffer more than 7 times the risk for both antisocial and mood disorders, three times the risk for addictive disorders, and twice the risk for anxiety disorders than those who do not have ADHD. Additionally, they have a higher risk for eating disorders, such as bulimia and obesity. But there's good news—you are NOT stuck with the brain you have!
