Adult ADD in Women
1. They are not alone
Many women in adulthood with ADD believe that no one can understand their struggles. The people who are aware of the problem are generally extremely compassionate and caring. Women can find support groups and forums online , such as ADDmirable Women, as well as local support groups for people with ADD/ADHD through ADDA or CHADD.
The most important thing women with ADD must realize is that they aren't isolated. Adult ADD is not well understood by doctors, who are often searching for signs that are more typical of boys and their behavior. Additionally hormonal changes during puberty, PMS and perimenopause can cause or worsen ADD symptoms.
