Adult ADD in Women
1. treatment for adhd in women are not alone.
Many adult women suffering from ADD feel that they don't have anyone in the world who understands their struggle. The people who do know are, however, often very loving and supportive. Women can join support groups and forums online, like ADDmirable Women, as well as local ADD/ADHD live support groups through ADDA or CHADD.
Women who suffer from ADD should realize that they're not the only one. Adult ADD is not well understood by doctors, who are often looking for signs that are more typical of boys and their behavior. Additionally hormonal changes in puberty, PMS and perimenopause can mask or exacerbate ADD symptoms.
