Adult ADD in Women
1. They are not alone
Many women in adulthood suffering from ADD believe that no one understands their struggles. The people who are aware of the issue tend to be very supportive and loving. Women can join online forums and support groups like ADDmirable women and local ADD/ADHD support groups through ADDA and CHADD.
Women suffering from ADD should realize that they are not the only ones. attention deficit disorder in women is often ignored by doctors who are looking for signs that are more typical of boys. Additionally hormonal changes in puberty, PMS and perimenopause can mask or exacerbate ADD symptoms.
