Adult ADD in Women
1. My Source are not alone
Many adult women suffering from ADD feel as if they have no one in the world who understands their struggle. People who do know, however, are often very supportive and loving. Women can join support groups and forums on the internet, such as ADDmirable Women, and local support groups for people with ADD/ADHD through ADDA or CHADD.
The biggest thing most women with ADD need to realize is that they aren't isolated. Adult ADD is often ignored by doctors who are looking for signs that are typical of males. Additionally hormonal changes in puberty, PMS and perimenopause can cause or worsen ADD symptoms.
