Adult ADD in Women
1. They are not alone.
Home who suffer from ADD believe that no one understands their struggles. Those who do know, however, are often very loving and supportive. Women can join online forums and support groups, such as ADDmirable women and local support groups for ADD/ADHD through ADDA and CHADD.
Women with ADD need to be aware that they aren't the only ones. Adult ADD isn't understood by doctors, who are often searching for signs that are more typical of boys behaviour. Additionally hormonal changes during puberty, PMS and perimenopause can be a source of confusion or even worsen ADD symptoms.
