Adult ADD in Women
1. adhd in women are not alone
Many women in adulthood suffering from ADD believe that no one can understand their struggles. Those who are aware of the issue are usually extremely compassionate and caring. Women can find support groups and forums on the internet, such as ADDmirable Women, as well as local support groups for ADD/ADHD through ADDA or CHADD.
The most important thing women with ADD must realize is that they aren't all on their own. Adult ADD is often misunderstood by doctors looking for signs that are more typical of boys. In addition, hormonal fluctuations, like those that occur during puberty, PMS and perimenopausal symptoms can mask or exacerbate ADD.
