Adult ADD in Women
1. They aren't alone.
More hints who are adults with ADD feel that they are the only person in the world who understands their struggles. People who are aware of the problem tend to be extremely caring and supportive. Women can join forums and support groups online, like ADDmirable Women, and local ADD/ADHD live support groups through ADDA or CHADD.
The biggest thing most women suffering from ADD must realize is that they're not isolated. Adult ADD isn't understood by doctors, who are typically looking for signs more typical of boys behaviour. Additionally hormonal changes during puberty, PMS and perimenopause can be a source of confusion or even worsen ADD symptoms.
