Adult ADD in Women
1. undiagnosed adhd in women are not alone
Many adult women with ADD feel that they don't have anyone in the world who understands their struggles. The people who are aware of the issue tend to be extremely supportive and loving. Women can find online forums and support groups such as ADDmirable women, and local ADD/ADHD support groups through ADDA and CHADD.
Women with ADD need to realize that they're not the only people with the condition. Adult ADD is not well understood by doctors, who are typically looking for signs that are more typical of boys' behavior. In addition, hormonal fluctuations during puberty, PMS and perimenopause can be a source of confusion or even worsen ADD symptoms.
