And then there was a conversation with a woman who was in her 70s. She puts perspective on the diagnosis and on the rise in diagnosis that it just really helped me see it in a like, yeah, you live in the moment you live in and you only get to enjoy the amount of progress that has been made up to that moment.

When I read Sari's first book, it blew my mind. So a lot of what Sari and I talk about in episode two, when I first sort of encountered the information, it blew my mind. And that's what led me to call Sari for the interview. And she is. Can you explain? Yeah. Sari Solden is a woman who wrote a book in the mid 90s called Women with Attention Deficit Disorder.

And she describes it just to a T, kind of like the feelings and the emotional experience of having ADHD, particularly for women. And in the 90s, that's... And in the 90s, that was groundbreaking. It was actually kind of rejected by a lot of the powers that be. So I think her findings were the most surprising to me.

And then the final episode is all about research that's being conducted into female hormones and ADHD. And there's several surprises in that one. One, just realizing I assumed I didn't know much about hormones and ADHD because I hadn't looked into it. And then in trying to... I think we... I have no idea how many.

It was four or five actual versions of that episode that we wrote then before we finally landed on one that was working. But trying to report on the absence of something is really difficult. And I don't think I've done that very much. We did finally find some research that's being conducted. But I think that in a sense, that episode is about the absence of research, which is a tough story to tell.

Personally, I think we need treatments that consider female hormones and how those affect not only how they affect ADHD symptoms, but also how they affect ADHD medications. Right. And this is true, I think, not just in ADHD. It's true in we're starting to realize it's true in many other things. We're seeing it with Alzheimer's. We're most likely going to start seeing it with dementia.

But we need treatments that are actually effective. And I don't want to say that are gendered because I don't think that's the exact right way to say it. But women and men do not experience any illnesses, conditions, any mental health differences in the same way because they don't have the same.

Bodies. There's a study coming out of the risk lab with Dr. Martell that looks at young adult women. The one we talk about in episode six is about adolescent girls because that's the one that exists right now. But Dr. Martell's study is going to come out. Hopefully. I have no idea what's happening with funding. I mean, the episode also gets into funding needs to exist.
