add and adhd in women in Women
1. They aren't alone.
Many adult women with ADD believe that nobody understands their struggles. People who do know they are usually extremely supportive and loving. Women can find online support groups and forums, such as ADDmirable women, and local support groups for ADD/ADHD through ADDA and CHADD.
The most important thing that women with ADD need to realize is that they are not all on their own. Adult ADD isn't well-understood by doctors, who are usually searching for signs that are more typical of boys and their behavior. In addition hormonal changes in puberty, PMS and perimenopause can mask or exacerbate ADD symptoms.
