Adult ADD in Women
1. They are not alone.
Many women who are adults who suffer from ADD believe that no one can understand their struggles. People who are aware of the issue are usually very supportive and loving. Women can find online forums and support groups, such as ADDmirable women, and local support groups for ADD/ADHD through ADDA and CHADD.
Women with ADD should realize that they're not the only one. Adult ADD isn't understood by doctors, who are typically looking for signs more typical of boys' behavior. Additionally, inattentive add in women as those experienced during puberty, PMS, and perimenopause, can cause or worsen ADD.
