After eight years the podcast has changed names! Pressing Pause has become the Quiet ADHD Podcast.
For our conversation in this episode of the special Better Read Book Fest season of the podcast I spoke with NHS GP and menopause specialist, Dr Helen Wall who is the author of Menopause and ADHD.
We discussed:
• The medical blind spot which meant women were missed for so long
• Why perimenopause and ADHD can be a “double whammy” on the brain
• Women’s bigger biological and hormonal picture
• “I’m just looking for an excuse” – the self-gaslighting so many women do before seeking help
• How to prepare for a GP appointment that gets you heard
• What HRT can (and can’t) do for the ADHD-perimenopause overlap
• Formal diagnosis vs. self-identification and why you don’t have to wait to get support
To hear more from Dr Helen and all the authors at Better Read Book Fest get your ticket while they’re available at betterreadbookfest.com.
