1. They are not alone
Many adult women suffering from ADD feel like they have no one in the world who understands their struggle. The people who are aware of the issue are usually extremely caring and supportive. Women can join forums and support groups online, like ADDmirable Women, and local ADD/ADHD live support groups through ADDA or CHADD.
Women with ADD need to realize that they are not the only one. Adult ADD is not well understood by doctors, who are usually searching for signs that are more typical of boys' behavior. In addition, hormonal changes such as those during puberty, PMS, and perimenopause, can cause or exacerbate ADD.
