“…A recent population‐based study examined the demographic, mental health, and physical health characteristics of women aged 20 to 39 years with self‐reported ADHD (n = 107) compared to women without ADHD (n = 3801). The study found that compared to women without ADHD, women with self‐reported ADHD had a higher prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ie, sexual abuse , P < .001), lower educational attainment ( P = .02), and a lower income ( P < .001) that, in turn, could not meet their basic expenses compared to . As a group, women with ADHD were significantly more likely to report sleep‐related problems (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 5.08; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.36‐7.69), chronic pain–preventing activity (aOR, 3.86; 95% CI, 2.43‐6.13), impairment in daily activities (aOR, 3.85; 95% CI, 2.54‐5.83), and lifetime history of suicidal ideation (aOR, 4.79; 95% CI, 3.17‐7.22), as well as more likely to meet criteria for a lifetime substance or alcohol use disorder (aOR, 2.82; 95% CI, 1.84‐4.30), lifetime major depressive disorder (aOR, 2.47; 95% CI, 1.59‐3.84), and lifetime generalized anxiety disorder (aOR, 4.52; 95% CI, 2.94‐6.95), than their female counterparts without ADHD.…”
