ADD Symptoms in Women

Women who suffer from ADD are often misunderstood or dismissed as being overly emotional. Some people are driven to distraction or rage over minor issues such as waiting in line or being in a queue.

Stereotypes about gender can also mask symptoms, making it difficult to recognize and diagnose. At Amen Clinics, we use brain imaging to help determine if a woman has undiagnosed ADHD.

Hyperactivity

Women suffering from ADHD are often overwhelmed by the daily tasks they have to perform. They may feel that their lives are a chaotic, or constant chaos. They are also unable to receive the support they need from family and friends. They are also more vulnerable to anxiety and depression since they have a hard time managing stress and criticism. Women with ADHD are also more likely to engage in dangerous sexual activities, such as sexually explicit or casual sex. These behaviors can result in sexually transmitted infections, unplanned pregnancy and low self-esteem, as well as feelings of shame.

A few psychologists are working to build up the research on ADHD in women of adulthood. Julia Rucklidge, a PhD student at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is leading one such effort. She and her colleagues are focusing on females with comorbid disorders like anxiety and depression. These co-occurring conditions can cause or worsen ADHD and affect the ability of a woman to function at work, home and at school.

Rucklidge explains that many of the same biases that affect men and boys also make it difficult to diagnose ADHD for girls and women. Rating scales are biased towards male behavior, and a female might have less effective strategies for coping in college or at work. Women with impulsive ADHD are often viewed as aggressive or irrational, and may hide their symptoms in order to make themselves more acceptable to.

Additionally, many of the same behavioral signs can be observed in all three subtypes of ADHD. Women can experience inattentive ADHD, hyperactive/impulsive Adhd types and symptoms, or mixed symptoms of adhd burnout. They can be fidgety, restless or on-the-go, disruptive and unorganized as well as impatient, irritable and unable to wait their turn, and prone to mood swings.

Inattentiveness

Inattentive extreme adhd symptoms is equally debilitating to children and adults. The struggle to organize, manage time efficiently and keep track of everyday tasks can be overwhelming. For example children may not be able to meet important deadlines at school or workers may forget about important meetings. Inattentive ADHD can also cause issues in relationships, as people become frustrated by a partner or colleague who is frequently lost in thought.

The non-hyperactive form of ADHD is less visible than the symptoms that are commonly associated with it, therefore it is easy for people to overlook or dismiss these issues. Children who have inattentive ADHD often are portrayed as being lazy or uncooperative because they don't follow the instructions of teachers or parents or even daydream in class. Adults with inattentive ADHD are also often ignored because their symptoms might not be as obvious as their peers with impulsivity or hyperactivity.

The signs of inattention ADHD may include difficulty staying focused, being easily pulled off task, difficulty paying attention to details and listening skills that are not as good, and frequent misplacing of belongings. Attention deficit ADHD can be exacerbated or made worse by anxiety, stress, and other conditions such as insomnia, depression and nutrition, side effects of medication (especially stimulant medications) and poor diet and nutritional deficiencies.

Inattentional ADHD affects more women and girls than any other ADD presentation, but it is often misdiagnosed and untreated. This is due to a combination of factors, including specific symptom manifestations, higher prevalence of co-existing anxiety and affective disorders in females, and rating scales that are biased towards male behavior. Inattention ADHD lesser known symptoms of adhd can also be affected by hormonal changes during menstrual cycles.

Impulsiveness

People who struggle to control their impulses usually experience a feeling of excitement or tension before acting on their urges. They also have a hard to resist their urges, even when they know the behaviour is harmful or problematic. In the end, they usually feel regret or guilt.

Children often act impulsively as they learn about the consequences of their actions. It's also a symptom of certain disorders that include ADHD, antisocial personality disorder, and pyromania (the urge to light fires).

The tendency to be impulsive could be a sign of a mental illness, like bipolar disorder, stroke, brain tumors, or diabetes. Alcohol can also cause you to be impulsive because it reduces your inhibitions.

A lack of control over your impulses can affect your relationships, work, and everyday life. For instance, if you are suffering from ADHD the impulsive behavior can disrupt your day-to-day routine and impact your ability to manage your money or work. The signs include interrupting people when they're talking, uttering answers to questions and struggling to wait for your turn when standing in line. Impulsive behaviors in adults can include spending too much money, shopping on a whim or consuming too much TV.

It is important to distinguish between compulsive and impulsive behavior. Compulsive behavior is ritualistic and repetitive however impulsive behavior is spontaneous. For example, putting your hand in the flame to check whether it's still burning is an impulsive action and checking it over and over again to ensure that the stove is not on is a compulsive act. Researchers don't know why males are more than women. Researchers suggest that genetics and hormonal changes in adolescence or adulthood, as well as the environment could be significant factors.

Agitation

Agitation is a feeling of restlessness and irritability which can be triggered by stress or an illness. It may cause a person to feel anxious, excited or tense, and can lead to aggressive or suicidal behaviours. People who are anxious may have difficulty sleeping and may have issues in their relationships or at work.

If a person feels agitated frequently, they should talk to their doctor. The doctor may suggest they try therapy or medication. It is also recommended to visit the hospital if they have chest pain or breathing problems which could indicate an attack on the heart.

Sometimes, agitation may be a sign of depression. Depression can cause feelings of hopelessness, sadness, and despair. People who suffer from depression may experience agitation. This is often caused by restlessness and anxiety. This is referred to as an agitated depression. Experts are still figuring out the ways in which this kind of depression is different from other types of depression.

Other times, agitation is the symptom of a mental health issue like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. These conditions can make an individual unable to discern between what is real and not. People who have these conditions may feel as if they are unable to sit still, and they may pace or wring their hands.

Certain medications, such as antipsychotics, can trigger agitation. People who take these medicines should talk to their doctor if they feel agitated regularly. Doctors can prescribe a treatment that does not have this effect. In addition to these medications they can reduce their anxiety by avoiding stressful situations, eating healthy diet, and getting enough rest.

The following are some of the ways to reduce your risk:

Women who suffer from depression can experience feelings of despair and sadness. It can also cause problems with sleeping, eating and the ability to think clearly. Women should seek treatment for depression as soon as they start to notice signs. This can stop the symptoms from getting worse and could lead to the possibility of a return.

According to research that women are more prone to depression than men. It is thought that this is due to the multitude of roles that women have in life, such as being a mother and spouse and can cause stress or lead to burnout. Women are more likely to experience hormonal changes which can cause depression. This is particularly true when menopausal and pregnancy.

It is possible that certain women are at a greater risk of depression because of previous experience with the disorder or a family history of it. This is also the case for women who have an insecure self-esteem or have faced issues with body image or sexuality.

Women who are depressed may experience fatigue, sleep problems and thoughts of suicide or death. Women who are depressed may also feel shame or guilt. This is due to the fact that women are more likely to blaming themselves for their low moods and this can be made worse by the fact that they are entrusted with more responsibility for caring for their children and other family members. Antidepressant medications can ease these symptoms. However, it is important to seek professional advice from a specialist.
