Are you over-working your brain?
So do millions of women with ADHD. Spaaan is here to exploring new ways to recognise overlooked experiences and share resources.
ADHD in women is under-diagnosed
Women with ADHD are particularly under-recognised and often go under-treated. The symptoms are more internalised: You might have trouble concentrating, getting organised, or managing your emotions. Hormonal changes may also have an impact.
Struggling with emotional regulation
You may experience emotions and sensory inputs more intensely. The constant effort to control the inner world and the environment can be draining and take a toll on one’s self-perception and self-worth. This can create doubt, guilt and shame and might lead to anxiety or depression.
Can’t start, can't finish: Tasks rabbit hole
We understand the constant struggle with stress, lack of focus, and inner restlessness. It’s easy to get distracted or, at times, lost in hyperfocus—making it frustrating to start or finish tasks. Life, including your flat, might become a chaotic mess.
Researching ADHD Support
At Spaaan, we’re dedicated to researching digital tools and resources that explore how women with ADHD experience daily life, and how these insights can inform supportive approaches.
We focus on translating published evidence and community insights into accessible, educational resources. By drawing on perspectives from clinical experts and lived experiences, our goal is to co-develop user-centred tools that may one day support greater awareness, self-understanding, and community connection.
Be a Part of the Journey
If you are a researcher, clinician, or someone with lived experience of ADHD, we invite you to take part in our co-development journey, sharing perspectives that can shape future educational resources and community initiatives.
