Is it perimenopause, or ADHD that's been there all along? Executive function coach Debbie White — diagnosed with ADHD at midlife herself — joins Stacy London to explain why the two look so similar and how to tell them apart.
Debbie's core insight: perimenopause doesn't cause ADHD, it reveals it. ADHD is a lifelong neurobiological condition, but inconsistent estrogen can break the systems that kept it manageable for decades — and because it's lifelong, postmenopausal women navigate it too. She shares the strategies that work: the one-notepad rule, "eat the frog," planning ahead, and the power of the pause.
