Adult ADD in Women
1. adhd in women signs are not alone.
Many adult women suffering from ADD feel like they have no one in the world who can understand their struggles. Those who do know they are usually very loving and supportive. Women can join forums and support groups online, such as ADDmirable Women, and local support groups for ADD/ADHD through ADDA or CHADD.
The most important thing that women suffering from ADD must realize is that they're not alone. Adult ADD is often misunderstood by doctors looking for signs that are more typical of boys. In addition, hormonal fluctuations, such as those experienced during puberty, PMS, and perimenopause, can cause or exacerbate ADD.
