Adult ADD in Women
1. adhd in young women .
Many women who are adults with ADD feel as if they don't have anyone in the world who can understand their struggle. People who are aware of the problem tend to be extremely caring and supportive. Women can join support groups and forums on the internet, such as ADDmirable Women, as well as local support groups for ADD/ADHD through ADDA or CHADD.
Women suffering from ADD need to be aware that they aren't the only ones. Adult ADD isn't understood by doctors, who are typically searching for signs that are more typical of boys behaviour. In addition, hormonal fluctuations, like those that occur during puberty or PMS, and perimenopause, can mask or exacerbate ADD.
