Adult ADD in Women
1. add in adult women .
Many women in adulthood with ADD believe that no one can understand their struggles. People who do know, however, are often extremely supportive and loving. Women can find forums and support groups online, like ADDmirable Women, as well as local support groups for people with ADD/ADHD through ADDA or CHADD.
The most important thing that women with ADD need to realize is that they're not isolated. Adult ADD is not well understood by doctors, who are often looking for signs more typical of boys' behavior. Additionally, hormonal fluctuations like those that occur during puberty, PMS and perimenopausal changes can mask or exacerbate ADD.
