Supernus partners with Busy Philipps to shine spotlight on ADHD in women

Actress, author, podcaster, and mother of two, Busy Philipps is teaming up with Supernus Pharmaceuticals to share her personal journey with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder – one of the most common psychiatric diagnoses in adults – as well as her experience with Qelbree, a non-stimulant medication for the treatment of ADHD. Busy has been vocal about her personal experience living with ADHD for years, but now she is revealing what it means to be a woman navigating ADHD and wants other women who may be struggling to know they are not alone. Boys are two times more likely than girls to be diagnosed. While boys’ symptoms often fit the stereotypical ideas of hyperactive ADHD, girls’ inattentive symptoms are often overlooked. As a result, ADHD often goes undiagnosed in young girls, leading to more adult females being undiagnosed and therefore untreated – a sentiment reflective of Busy’s own experience.
