living360uk on November 2, 2026: "As part of Living360’s The ADHD Gap campaign, we commissioned a survey to uncover what women know and think about ADHD. ⁠
⁠
The campaign, which launched at the beginning of October, explores the challenges faced by women with ADHD, alongside public perceptions of the condition.⁠
⁠
The survey found that 65% of respondents diagnosed with ADHD feel their symptoms and experiences are misunderstood by others, and 83% point to friendships and social lives as being the areas most affected. When asked about barriers to assessments and diagnosis, 29% of respondents felt that they wouldn’t be taken seriously by a doctor or healthcare professional. ⁠
⁠
Katie Sipp-Hurley, project editor at Living360, says: “We commissioned this survey to gain insight into the gaps in knowledge and understanding around ADHD in women. By giving participants the opportunity to share their thoughts and ask questions, we have been able to identify specific areas where more education and support are needed, while also further spotlighting the voices and experiences of women living with ADHD.” ⁠
