Symptoms often internal: burnout, overwhelm, emotional dysregulation (Young et al., 2020)

The result?
🔹 Missed support
🔹 Years of self-doubt
🔹 Masking mistaken as personality

📊 The stats: • Girls = up to 3x less likely to be diagnosed (Hinshaw & Scheffler, 2014)
• Many women wait 10+ years longer for diagnosis (Hamed et al., 2015)
• 50%+ experience anxiety or depression too (Kooij et al., 2010)
