The Impact of Hormones on ADHD in Women
Hormonal changes, such as those associated with the menstrual cycle or menopause, can affect ADHD symptoms in women. Estrogen levels in particular have been found to influence the release of neurotransmitters, leading to fluctuations in ADHD symptoms. The decrease in estrogen levels during premenstrual days can magnify ADHD symptoms and mood disorders. Additionally, the hormonal changes during pregnancy and postpartum can significantly impact ADHD symptoms, as well as the transition to perimenopause and menopause. It is important for women with ADHD to be aware of how their hormone levels may affect their symptoms and to work with healthcare professionals to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
