1. They are not alone
Many adult women suffering from ADD feel that they have no one in the world who understands their struggles. Those who are aware of the issue are usually extremely caring and supportive. Women can join online forums and support groups such as ADDmirable women and local support groups for ADD/ADHD through ADDA and CHADD.
The most important thing women suffering from ADD should be aware of is that they are not isolated. Adult ADD isn't well-understood by doctors, who are usually searching for signs that are more typical of boys behaviour. In addition hormonal changes during puberty, PMS and perimenopause can cause or worsen ADD symptoms.
