1. They are not alone
Many adult women suffering from ADD feel as if they are the only person in the world who understands their struggles. The people who do know, however, are often extremely supportive and loving. Women can find forums and support groups on the internet, such as ADDmirable Women and local support groups for people with ADD/ADHD through ADDA or CHADD.
The most important thing that women suffering from ADD must realize is that they are not alone. Adult ADD is not well understood by doctors, who are often searching for signs that are more typical of boys' behavior. Additionally, hormonal fluctuations like those that occur during puberty or PMS and perimenopausal symptoms can mask or exacerbate ADD.
