Why Latinas Get Diagnosed with ADHD Later In Life

Why Latinas Get Diagnosed with ADHD Later In Life14 oct.38 min

This week Diosa and Mala discuss why it's so common for women, especially Latinas, to be misdiagnosed or under-diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). They're joined by Angelica Diaz, an associate marriage and family therapist, who specializes in late-diagnosis of autism and ADHD in the Latine community. Together they discuss how marianismo and machismo are partly why Latinas get under-diagnosed.
