The ADHD & Women Summit - London

Learn about ADHD and the distinct ways women experience it from leading experts at this groundbreaking conference.

Research shows that in childhood, boys are diagnosed with ADHD 3-4 times more than girls. By adulthood, the ratio evens out to nearly 1:1 highlighting how girls and women with ADHD are often misdiagnosed and misunderstood in the medical framework.

With increased diagnoses and growing strains on the NHS and other support services, the ADHD & Women Summit aims to increase awareness and knowledge on the specific issues women with ADHD face.

This will be Seed Talks’ largest event to date, with our best speakers, most engaging workshops and favourite partners all in one space.
