Adult ADD in Women
1. They are not alone
Many adult women with ADD feel that they have no one in the world who understands their struggles. The people who are aware of the problem are generally extremely supportive and loving. Women can join online forums and support groups, such as ADDmirable women and local ADD/ADHD support groups through ADDA and CHADD.
Women who suffer from ADD must realize that they are not the only one. Adult ADD is often misunderstood by doctors who are looking for signs that are more typical of boys. Additionally, conversational tone during puberty, PMS and perimenopause can mask or exacerbate ADD symptoms.
