Adult ADD in Women

1. undiagnosed adhd in women are not alone.

Many adult women suffering from ADD feel like they have no one in the world who understands their struggle. The people who do know, however, are often very loving and supportive. Women can join online support groups and forums, such as ADDmirable women, and local ADD/ADHD support groups through ADDA and CHADD.

Women suffering from ADD must realize that they are not the only people with the condition. Adult ADD is often misunderstood by doctors who are looking for signs that are more typical of males. In addition, hormonal fluctuations during puberty, PMS and perimenopause can be a source of confusion or even worsen ADD symptoms.
