Adult ADD in Women

1. I Am Psychiatry are not alone

Many women who are adults with ADD feel as if they have no one in the world who understands their struggles. The people who are aware of the issue tend to be extremely compassionate and caring. 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 women suffering from ADD need to realize is that they aren't all on their own. Adult ADD is often misunderstood by doctors looking for signs that are typical of males. Additionally hormonal changes during puberty, PMS and perimenopause can mask or exacerbate ADD symptoms.
