Adult ADD in Women
1. They aren't alone.
Many women in adulthood with ADD believe that nobody understands their struggles. Those who do know, however, are often very loving and supportive. Women can find forums and support groups on the internet, such as ADDmirable Women and local support groups for ADD/ADHD through ADDA or CHADD.
Women suffering from ADD should be aware that they aren't the only people with the condition. Adult ADD is often ignored by doctors who are looking for signs that are typical of boys. Additionally, adult add in women as those experienced during puberty or PMS and perimenopausal changes can cause or exacerbate ADD.
