The biggest thing most women with ADD should be aware of is that they are not all on their own. adult add in women is often misunderstood by doctors who are looking for signs that are typical of boys. In addition hormonal changes in puberty, PMS and perimenopause can mask or exacerbate ADD symptoms.
