- More than 60% of U.S. women who reported ever receiving an ADHD diagnosis were first diagnosed in adulthood, underscoring the importance of recognizing experiences that don't fit familiar perceptions of the condition.1

ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Professional snowboarder Chloe Kim is bringing her personal attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) journey to ‘Ms. Represented,’ a campaign from Supernus Pharmaceuticals for Qelbree (viloxazine extended-release capsules), a once-a-day, non-stimulant ADHD treatment for people ages 6 years and older. Diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, Chloe didn’t recognize her own experience in familiar portrayals of ADHD. Now, as a paid spokesperson for Supernus, she is opening up about her journey to change the conversation and help other women feel seen, understood, and represented.
Launched last year, the ‘Ms. Represented’ campaign challenges the narrow perceptions of ADHD that can leave women feeling misrepresented. Boys are nearly twice as likely as girls to be diagnosed with ADHD, while the percentage of women ages 23–49 newly diagnosed with the condition nearly doubled between 2020 and 2022.2,3 While ADHD is often associated with hyperactivity and impulsivity, it can also involve inattentive symptoms, including less visible experiences such as getting easily distracted or having difficulty with organization.4 For Chloe, recognizing patterns in her own experiences helped her better understand her ADHD diagnosis, bringing another perspective to the campaign and helping connect with a younger generation of women.
“When I was diagnosed with ADHD, so much about what I had been experiencing finally made sense,” said Chloe. “I hope that by sharing my story, more women feel empowered to ask questions, seek support, and know that having ADHD doesn’t limit what they’re capable of achieving.”
Following Chloe’s diagnosis, she explored treatment options with her doctor and now takes once-a-day, non-stimulant Qelbree to help manage her ADHD symptoms. Initially approved for children ages 6-17 years in April 2021 and subsequently for adults in April 2022, Qelbree offers a treatment option for the nearly 16 million adults and 7 million adolescents living with ADHD in the U.S.5,6
“Through the ‘Ms. Represented’ campaign, we're continuing to challenge the misconceptions that have left women's experiences with ADHD overlooked for too long,” said Jack A. Khattar, President and Chief Executive Officer of Supernus Pharmaceuticals. “Chloe brings an important perspective to that mission, and as we mark five years of Qelbree, we remain committed to raising awareness and providing a non-stimulant treatment option to help people manage their ADHD symptoms.”
Designed to inspire action, the ‘Ms. Represented’ campaign meets women where they are, using engaging storytelling to spark vital health conversations. By connecting the dots across her passions, from snowboarding, fashion to mental health, Chloe brings the initiative to life in editorial collaborations with Coveteur and PureWow, alongside an appearance on a social-first episode of Are You Okay?.
