Adult ADD in Women
1. They are not alone.
Many adult women suffering from ADD feel as if they have no one in the world who understands their struggle. The people who do know they are usually very loving and supportive. Women can join online forums and support groups such as ADDmirable women and local ADD/ADHD support groups through ADDA and CHADD.
The most important thing women suffering from ADD need to realize is that they are not isolated. adhd in women is often ignored by doctors who are looking for signs that are typical of males. In addition hormonal changes in puberty, PMS and perimenopause can cause or worsen ADD symptoms.
