Adult ADD in Women
1. They aren't alone.
women and adhd who are adults with ADD feel as if they don't have anyone in the world who can understand their struggle. Those who do know they are usually extremely supportive and loving. Women can find online forums and support groups like ADDmirable women and local ADD/ADHD support groups through ADDA and CHADD.
The most important thing women with ADD must realize is that they are not isolated. undiagnosed adhd in women is often ignored by doctors who are looking for signs that are more typical of males. Additionally hormonal changes during puberty, PMS and perimenopause can mask or exacerbate ADD symptoms.
