Behind the Mask: Understanding BPD, ADHD, and Trauma with Women in Addiction

Women facing substance use disorders (SUD) often present with multifaceted mental health needs shaped by gender-specific experiences, trauma histories, and overlooked neurodevelopmental conditions. This educational webinar brings together a panel of leading experts to explore the complex intersections of addiction, mental health, and gender through a psychodynamically informed, trauma-responsive lens.

A core focus will be advanced treatment considerations for women with ADHD and borderline personality disorder (BPD)—highlighting the significant overlap in symptom presentation, the frequent misdiagnosis of ADHD as BPD in adult women, and the clinical consequences of such diagnostic errors. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how ADHD uniquely manifests in women, often masked by societal expectations and emotional regulation challenges, and how this can lead to increased vulnerability to BPD and substance use.

Additional topics include the critical role of developmental trauma in women’s addiction pathways, key psychodynamic insights for enhancing clinical engagement, and practical strategies for delivering gender-responsive care.

Designed for clinicians, peer support specialists, and program leaders, this session offers a rich, interdisciplinary dialogue grounded in real-world practice and emerging research.
