Deep dives

Navigating ADHD and Perimenopause

Hormonal changes during perimenopause can significantly exacerbate ADHD symptoms, making them feel unmanageable. The drop in estrogen levels, which typically begins after the age of 35, is intricately linked to cognitive functions, memory, and emotional regulation. Individuals with ADHD may experience heightened forgetfulness, irritability, and difficulties in maintaining focus during this time. Seeking medical advice and potentially exploring options such as diagnosis and hormone replacement therapy can provide necessary support in managing these challenges.
