Adult ADD in Women
1. adult adhd in women are not alone
Many adult women with ADD feel like they have no one in the world who understands their struggles. The people who do know they are usually very loving and supportive. Women can find online forums and support groups, like ADDmirable women and local support groups for ADD/ADHD through ADDA and CHADD.
Women suffering from ADD must realize that they're not the only ones. Adult ADD isn't understood by doctors, who are usually looking for signs that are more typical of boys' behavior. Additionally, hormonal fluctuations such as those during puberty or PMS, and perimenopause, can cause or worsen ADD.
