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.

I just kept wanting to throw the book across the room because it's essentially like the conditions we live in compound symptoms in a way that... is leading to like ADHD as a diagnosis is when it's impairing your life. And I think that a lot of people have lived with ADHD for a really long time, but it didn't impair their lives. Right.

So I think that was the biggest thing for me to grapple with was like what is happening in the world that's causing a lot of this.

Yeah. And I think it's almost the advantages, disadvantages, conversation or deficits and positive sides. Strengths. Yeah. And strengths. Thank you. Conversation becomes such a black and white conversations and things can coexist. Yeah. You know, like there can be situations in which it's advantageous and situations in which it's a deficit. Yeah.

So I think that there's still a little bit of black and white thinking around that. So that was a lot to grapple with, too.

Oh, yeah. The title of the show comes from an interview with a woman named Terry Matlin. She's been treating women with ADHD since the 90s. And during the pandemic, she received more emails than she's ever received with women seeking treatment. And she said these women were just climbing the walls like they needed help. And yeah, that's where the name of the show comes from.

My questions about ADHD and perimenopause fit into a bigger category, ADHD and hormones. And I'm not even slightly the only person asking about them. Women have posted all sorts of stories and questions about ADHD and hormones on Reddit. Allow me to read you one of those posts.
