adhd symptoms in adult women in Women
1. They are not alone
Many women who are adults who suffer from ADD believe that no one understands their struggles. Those who are aware of the problem are usually extremely compassionate and caring. Women can join support groups and forums online, like ADDmirable Women and local support groups for ADD/ADHD through ADDA or CHADD.
Women suffering from ADD need to realize that they're not the only people with the condition. Adult ADD is often ignored by doctors who are looking for signs that are typical of males. In addition, hormonal changes like those that occur during puberty or PMS and perimenopausal symptoms can cause or exacerbate ADD.
