Adult ADD in Women
1. They aren't alone.
Many women in adulthood with ADD believe that no one can understand their struggles. People who do know, however, are often very supportive and loving. Women can join support groups and forums on the internet, such as ADDmirable Women, and local support groups for ADD/ADHD through ADDA or CHADD.
The most important thing women with ADD must realize is that they aren't isolated. Adult ADD is often misunderstood by doctors looking for signs that are typical of boys. Additionally adhd symptoms in women in puberty, PMS and perimenopause can cause or worsen ADD symptoms.
