Adult ADD in Women
1. visit the website .
Many adult women with ADD feel as if they have no one in the world who can understand their struggles. Those who are aware of the issue tend to be extremely compassionate and caring. Women can join online support groups and forums, like ADDmirable women and local ADD/ADHD support groups through ADDA and CHADD.
Women who suffer from ADD must be aware that they aren't the only ones. Adult ADD is often misunderstood by doctors who are looking for signs that are typical of males. Additionally hormonal changes in puberty, PMS and perimenopause can mask or exacerbate ADD symptoms.
