The Hidden Complexities of Men with ADHD

  • October 07, 2025
  • 12:00 PM
  • ADDitude Webinar

What is it like to be a man living with ADHD in a culture shaped by long-established ideals and expectations of masculinity? Research and treatment have historically centered on boys with ADHD, but has the field adequately listened and responded to the voices of men? How they mask their symptoms due to fear of failure or not meeting expectations? How they long to express their emotions but fear being perceived as weak? How they feel shame when they lose emotional control, forget to pay the bills, or think that they’ve let down their family? How they question their intelligence, or harbor self-doubt, because they struggle with professional goals, planning, and time management? ADDitude has convened a special roundtable with men who have ADHD to discuss their lived experiences—and to increase understanding and support. You might recognize a few of these men; they have their own podcasts about navigating life with ADHD.
