The Commonality of ADHD and Gender Dysphoria!

There are many symptoms stemming from gender dysphoria, which may, on the surface, appear like ADHD.

This leads to misdiagnosis and shifting treatment focus from the root cause, gender dysphoria.

While one can struggle with ADHD and Gender Dysphoria as stand-alone diagnoses, it is important to get a proper assessment to confirm the diagnosis.

It is also important to keep in mind that many symptoms of gender dysphoria may appear as ADHD, while in reality, they are not.
