The symptoms of ADHD in women are same as the symptoms of ADHD in men; there is no point of difference. According to various studies the symptoms of hyperactivity, irritability and even inattentivity are same in case of men and women. ADHD s a biogenetic disorder so there is no difference in the symptoms of ADHD in boys or even girls as there is no difference in symptoms pertaining to a particular sex. In a study done by Biederman and his colleagues, there was no difference except one difference in the symptoms of excessive talking was reported more in girls than boys.
According to other studies in field of ADHD have shown that the ratio of boys and girls suffering from ADHD at a young age is 3:1, so boys have more chances of contracting ADHD.
But this can be due to the case that girls tend to be less hyperactive than the boys that are suffering from ADHD, even boys without ADHD are more troublesome than the girls at a certain age. So the study goes to adulthood where the ratio seems to be same between the boys and the girls. So equal number of boys and girls are diagnosed, but this difference is not there in symptoms both the sexes show. The brain functioning of the person suffering from ADHD is same be it a boy or a girl, but there might be bit difference between the behavior pattern and other activity.
The other major area of differing in expression is due too the locus of control. This is point from where the people imagine, think and even manage their day to day activity. If there is internal locus of control and if a person can control it then it would be easy for her to control and even manage its ways properly. The operation and behavior can be managed by the person on its own easily by the person. Externally if a person is searching for a control on its locus then it can seem to be a problem then is the stage when ADHD can be said or claimed in a person. Initial initiative do not make any affect on the person’s mind when he or se has reached the stage of ADHD. Too many varying degree there are emotions that may be overtly expressed or may not be fully satisfied or shown by the person suffering from ADHD. These people do not contribute in any way to the society and development of it.
Girls tends to lose their point of locus sooner than the boys itself this is also a reason why girls easily falls prey to ADHD. ACCORDING TO A STUDY THE BEHAVIOR COMLICATIONS OF GIRLS MAGNIFY AFTER A CERTAIN LEVEL of their age thus their ill effectiveness increases at this course of time. There have been examples like a girl wanted to work in her mother’s saloon, this may be a choice in career but she had a long history of below average performance in school, despite of having a good amount of IQ. She stated that she felt stupider than her classmates and was scared of performing in any particular area so she had to choose this field. This was due to the fact that she felt she couldn’t do any thing right. These expressions in women are due to the thinking ability and their lack of self control which plays a vital role in either controlling ADHD or even triggering ADHD.
The change and lack in self control is more evident when the women grow old, according to psychiatrists the pressures in the society and even other responsibility make women drift towards ADHD and lack in self control. As the society pressures demands excessive presence of women in day to day activity thus pressurizing women more. This pressure also helps in triggering ADHD. Due to exaggeration in expression of the individual there have been an increase in the ADHD cases related to women thus increasing their ratio.
So to summarize the fact we can say that brain functioning in humans are the same despite of which sex the person belongs to. The main reasons are the pressures in women due to the cultural facts and changes thus causing a negative effect in behavioral and thought changes.
