ADHD Specialists in Santa Barbara, California
Are you struggling with focus, overwhelm, or forgetfulness? You may be one of the many adults silently coping with ADHD—particularly common, yet often overlooked in women. At ElevateHer Psychiatry, we specialize in compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals with ADHD in Santa Barbara and throughout California.
Understanding ADHD in Women
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) presents differently in women than in men. Many women are misdiagnosed or undiagnosed because their symptoms don’t always match the stereotypical image of ADHD. Instead of hyperactivity, women with ADHD may experience:
Chronic disorganization
Difficulty completing tasks
Emotional overwhelm
Low self-esteem
Sensitivity to criticism
Anxiety or depression secondary to untreated ADHD
Untreated ADHD can lead to major disruptions in work, relationships, and overall wellbeing. It’s not just about forgetting appointments—it’s about feeling like your brain won’t cooperate, no matter how hard you try. Without proper support, women with ADHD often suffer in silence, blaming themselves for what is actually a neurological condition.
