Perimenopause or ADHD? Why So Many Women Are Being Diagnosed in Their 40s (Part 1)

Could your symptoms be perimenopause, ADHD, or both?

In Part 1 of this two-part episode, Dr Natalia Spierings is joined by Consultant Family Medicine Physician Dr Kiren Sahota to discuss why many women first experience ADHD symptoms, or receive a diagnosis, during perimenopause.

They explore the relationship between hormones and brain function, why ADHD is so often missed in girls and women, and how many high-performing women spend years masking symptoms before reaching a point where they no longer feel like themselves.

They also discuss executive function, dopamine, diagnosis, and why understanding the whole person is key to providing the right treatment.

Part 2 releases next Wednesday.
