adhd traits in women in Women
1. They are not alone
Many adult women with ADD feel that they don't have anyone in the world who can understand their struggles. The people who do know are, however, often very supportive and loving. Women can join support groups and forums online, such as ADDmirable Women, as well as local support groups for ADD/ADHD through ADDA or CHADD.
The most important thing that women suffering from ADD need to realize is that they are not isolated. Adult ADD is often ignored by doctors who are looking for signs that are typical of boys. Additionally, hormonal fluctuations such as those during puberty or PMS and perimenopausal symptoms can cause or exacerbate ADD.
