Adult ADD in Women
1. They are not alone
Many women who are adults who suffer from ADD believe that no one can understand their struggles. Those who are aware of the problem are usually very supportive and loving. 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.
The most important thing women suffering from ADD need to realize is that they aren't alone. Adult ADD isn't understood by doctors, who are typically looking for signs more typical of boys behaviour. Additionally, read article during puberty, PMS and perimenopause can mask or exacerbate ADD symptoms.
