According to recent studies, men are more prone to ADD than in women. Even with such a fact in mind, it is important to look into women suffering from ADD more closely. Attention deficit disorder (ADD) is said to be a neurological disorder rather than it is a psychological problem. The first signs of ADD would be noticeable as early as childhood. It is characterized by impulsiveness, hyperactivity, and lack of concentration. In most women, symptoms include forgetfulness and procrastination. In the office setup, she may have difficulty handling paperwork, may seem disorganized and often late for work. Although a lot of studies are conducted in the quest for creating a direct solution to ADD, up until today, there is no clear treatment for this disorder just yet.
Why are women at risk? Woman by nature are thinking persons and they tend to internalize more than men do. Society dictates that woman should play the role of a wife, a mother, a homemaker and a career woman. Such responsibilities can add up to the stress and depression that she may keep deep within.
The symptoms of ADD may prove to be an advantage in some cases. The spontaneity and reserved energy of a woman can do her good when doing most household activities. At some point ADD may cause a woman to be disorganized and eventually misbehave in some aspects. When this happens, one should seek the help of a professional.
A woman may not be aware that she has ADD. When diagnosed with such a disorder, then she would learn to accept and understand her own behavior. At this point, her family, especially her loved ones, should provide strong support system to minimize and finally eradicate the symptoms of ADD.
When diagnosed with ADD the first thing a woman should do is to accept her limitations. Prioritize what you need to get done and focus on the job at hand. Never crowd your mind with problems. From time to time, take a break and relax. Make use of planners or boards to jot down your day's activities. This way, life would seem more organized and well planned. Doing one duty at a time makes life more livable.
