NBC News (12/17, Hopkins) reported, “A growing number of adult women in the United States have been diagnosed with and are seeking treatment for” attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD). Psychiatrist David Goodman, MD, FAPA, “an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine,” stated, “There’s been an increase in women diagnosed with” AD/HD “over the last several years because of an increasing recognition that it’s not just the disruptive, impulsive behavior of boys that leads to a diagnosis.”
