Adult ADD in Women
1. adhd in older women are not alone.
undiagnosed adhd in women with ADD believe that no one understands their struggles. People who do know are, however, often very loving and supportive. Women can find forums and support groups online, such as ADDmirable Women, and local ADD/ADHD live support groups through ADDA or CHADD.
The most important thing that women with ADD must realize is that they are not alone. Adult ADD is not well understood by doctors, who are usually looking for signs more typical of boys behaviour. Additionally hormonal changes during puberty, PMS and perimenopause can mask or exacerbate ADD symptoms.
