Adult ADD in Women
1. inattentive add in women are not alone.
Many women who are adults with ADD feel as if they have no one in the world who can understand their struggle. Those who do know they are usually very loving and supportive. Women can join online forums and support groups such as ADDmirable women and local ADD/ADHD support groups through ADDA and CHADD.
The most important thing that women with ADD must realize is that they're not all on their own. Adult ADD isn't well-understood by doctors, who are usually looking for signs more typical of boys' behavior. Additionally, hormonal fluctuations like those that occur during puberty, PMS, and perimenopause, can cause or exacerbate ADD.
