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.

It's a story about something that doesn't exist.

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.

And that's a whole nother story.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think overdiagnosis was really difficult to tackle and how situational ADHD can be. And I think it's that like ADHD is always there, but it does express itself differently and different. And I'm saying situational instead of environmental because I think environmental gets confusing, but like situation or environment that you're in.

I think that was the hardest one for me to tackle because I think A lot of things have changed in the world in the last 100 or 200 years, and I don't think our brains have fully adapted. And I had a really hard time grappling with, is this something about the way the world is now? There's a book called, I believe the book's called Neurodivergent Mind.
