Adult ADD in Women
1. They are not alone.
Many adult women with ADD feel as if they have no one in the world who understands their struggles. The people who do know are, however, often very loving and supportive. Women can find support groups and forums online, such as ADDmirable Women, and local support groups for people with ADD/ADHD through ADDA or CHADD.
Women who suffer from ADD need to realize that they are not the only people with the condition. adhd in women is often ignored by doctors who are looking for signs that are typical of males. In addition, hormonal fluctuations, like those that occur during puberty or PMS and perimenopausal symptoms can mask or exacerbate ADD.
