Adult ADD in Women
1. They are not alone.
Many adult women suffering from ADD feel as if they don't have anyone in the world who can understand their struggles. People who are aware of the issue are generally very supportive and loving. Women can find online support groups and forums, like ADDmirable women and local ADD/ADHD support groups through ADDA and CHADD.
Women with ADD should realize that they are not the only one. Adult ADD is often misunderstood by doctors who are looking for signs that are more typical of boys. Additionally signs of adhd in women during puberty, PMS and perimenopause can be a source of confusion or even worsen ADD symptoms.
