adhd in women checklist in Women
1. They are not alone.
Many adult women with ADD feel that they have no one in the world who understands their struggle. People who do know are, however, often very supportive and loving. Women can join online forums and support groups such as ADDmirable women and local ADD/ADHD support groups through ADDA and CHADD.
Women suffering from ADD need to be aware that they aren't the only people with the condition. Adult ADD is often ignored by doctors who are looking for signs that are more typical of boys. In addition hormonal changes in puberty, PMS and perimenopause can mask or exacerbate ADD symptoms.
