The woman herself often hasn't seen it because she's masked.
She's kind of, I think most women I've spoken to about this kind of have known there's something not quite right.
They've known that things have been a challenge.
Perhaps things have been a bit more difficult for them than their peers, but they've never been able to put their finger on it.
And then, you know, they get to perimenopause and the sheer volume of hormonal change is the thing that tips the balance.
into this realisation that something's going on here.
But I think women are definitely not coming in begging for an ADHD diagnosis.
I really refute that.
And I would honestly say that I've never met a woman who wants an ADHD diagnosis.
She wants answers.
She wants validation of how she's feeling and why she's feeling that way.
That's very, very different to wanting a diagnosis of ADHD.
Yeah, I think there's a few things that make it.
I mean, it's not a competition, is it?
ADHD can be great, but it can also be quite disabling for men and women with certain challenges.
I think the difficulty for women is, one, the hormonal changes that we undergo.
So puberty, pregnancy, postnatally, perimenopause, menopause, huge shifts in our hormones can really impact how ADHD shows up.
But then I think everything else for why it's difficult for women with ADHD is we can change.
We can't change the fact that our hormones flux all over.
Yes, we can support them with medications and so on, but we can change how society manages this and how we see it and how the medical community sees it and manages it.
