Adult ADD in Women
1. adult female adhd symptoms .
Many adult women with ADD feel that they have no one in the world who understands their struggle. People who do know they are usually extremely supportive and loving. Women can find forums and support groups online, like ADDmirable Women and local support groups for people with ADD/ADHD through ADDA or CHADD.
Women who suffer from ADD need to be aware that they aren't the only one. Adult ADD is often misunderstood by doctors looking for signs that are more typical of males. Additionally, hormonal fluctuations such as those experienced during puberty, PMS and perimenopausal changes can cause or exacerbate ADD.
