Those stumbling, disorganized, dissheveled, late to everything America’s sweethearts charming their way through every romantic comedy ever might actually be sick: according to one psychologist, adult women with difficulty managing their lives may be suffering from undiagnosed ADD. And if you, like Sandra Bullock circa While You Were Sleeping, have problems filling out paperwork, keeping your living space clean, and managing your finances, you might have it, too. Someone get you and Ginnifer Goodwin some Addreall, stat!
According to Huffington Post blogger and practicing clinical psychologist George Sachs, there are a lot of women out there who have ADD and aren’t diagnosed until it’s significantly interfered with their adult lives or their children have been diagnosed with the condition. This may be due to the fact that little girls with a brain imbalance that makes paying attention difficult fade into the background much more easily than their male counterparts. While little boys with ADD often act violent and disruptive, little girls act like sweet shy little withdrawn dreamers with their heads in the clouds. As a result, boys’ ADD is managed from childhood to adulthood, but girls’ may go undetected. Like yours did. Damn doctors!
