Adult ADD in Women
1. adhd traits in women are not alone
Many women who are adults with ADD feel as if they don't have anyone in the world who understands their struggles. Those who do know are, however, often extremely supportive and loving. Women can join online forums and support groups such as ADDmirable women and local support groups for ADD/ADHD through ADDA and CHADD.
The most important thing that women with ADD must realize is that they aren't isolated. Adult ADD is often ignored by doctors who are looking for signs that are typical of males. In addition hormonal changes during puberty, PMS and perimenopause can cause or worsen ADD symptoms.
