Adult Women and ADD – Where’s the H?
Adult Women And Add
As ADHD becomes a hot topic in the real world and online, many people are beginning to discover that adult women and ADD is an often overlooked problem. The main reason that adult women and ADD isn’t front and center starts with one particular difference. Many doctors, psychologists, therapists and doctors are in agreement that the “H”, the hyperactivity component is absent majority of the time. It’s a double edged sword, for several reasons.
1. Girls with ADD, dont exhibit the same signs as boys; who are typically more hyper
2. Most research has been performed on males, specifically because the “H” component is so hard to deal with
3. Girls may seem like they are ‘behaving’, when in actuality, their brains aren’t even present, ‘daydreaming’…
4. Girls that aren’t correctly diagnosed with ADD , carry it into adult hood, causing major problems.
5. Alcohol poisoning and addiction is now reaching into the young female demographic more than ever.. (trying to ‘fit in’ – self medicating from the often feelings of fear, shame, and guilt that people with ADD possess)
Many leading doctors and psychologists are lobbying for more research to be looked at with respect to adult women and ADD. Which makes alot of sense, to me, due to the fact that they make majority of the family decisions. many of the earlier studies focused on comparing girls to boys – using boys ADHD symptoms as the marker. (Nadeau)
Doctors who work with females with ADD often ask, “how is school for you?” and the girl answers, “great, i’m never there”…
Discovering what part of the female brain (with ADD) is functioning out of balance, then creating a safe alternative treatment plan can saves many people from a future of suffering and damaging relationships.

Adult Women and ADD – Where’s the H? Very interesting article. It is sad that when research is done it is always using the male model but the truth is women are made up totally different than men and the small goes to children and infants. They all need to be studied separately. Thanks for sharing.
adult women with ADD are a very constructive and destructive group, being that the research is mostly geared from boys..

adult women with ADD sometimes feel overwhelmed and there is actually a reason for it
After my grandson was diagnosed with ADHD and Asperger's 2 years ago, I finally figured out that I fit the profiles as much as he did- but without all of the hyperactivity component, this has led me on a 2 year search for myself that is going on it's 3rd year and will continue for quite sometime I am sure. I want to thank Kenia and Dr Etka and other's for their support and am willing to allow myself to be a research subject if needed. I have been doing a lot of self diagnosing as well as self supporting and research- such a great big million piece jigsaw puzzle this has turned out to be-lol.
adult women with ADD sometimes get overlooked so im glad i could shed light on this topic..
