A public lecture on the knowledge gaps in ADHD in girls and women across and beyond the reproductive lifespan, and what needs to be done
About this Event

Salvesen Mindroom Research Centre and Salvesen Mindroom Centre are partners, working together from research and practice perspectives, to improve the lives of neurodivergent young people and their families. We are delighted to co-host this sixth annual Salvesen Lecture:


ADHD symptoms in women aren’t ‘hidden’ – they are misinterpreted

To decrease stigma, ameliorate suffering, and improve the outcomes in girls and women with ADHD we need a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms causing their lives to be an uphill struggle from early childhood across the lifespan.

In this presentation Lotta will walk us through the neuroscience and epidemiology behind female ADHD, address the key knowledge gaps associated with vulnerable hormonal periods across the female reproductive life, and suggest what needs to be done.


This lecture is free to attend and open to all.

The lecture will last around 1 hour and will be followed by a live panel discussion.
