Why does it seem there are fewer men here?

Is it because we don't deal with this issue or there less men who know they have it?? Or is it another reason....I'm asking because I need to know, plus I think it would be really nice to see both sexes dealing with this issue. (as well as those that actually have ADHD/ ADD, not just family members of those that have it!)

I made a grammatical
error in the first line. It should read, "Is it because we don't deal
with this issue or are there less men who know they have it?"

Can I suggest why there might be fewer men here?? It has always been proven to me that men don't like talking about their issues due to pride. But I personally think it's great when a man steps up and is will to admit that he'd like to talk about his issue and work through it. So, good for you. I think it's a pride thing.

well, i personally would like to see more men make comments here, just to get their perspective. one possible reason is that the ADD community is geared toward children, indeed, it is listed that way. but it has been suggested many times to Doug and DS that an adult site be added... for some reason, they aren't willing to do so. that being said, men might not realize this is also for adults..

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
