ADHD Chatter · Doctor (25 years experience): ADHD Women Need To Stop Doing THIS | Dr Helen Wall · 11 May 2026 podcast

And I don't think we give that enough credit.

And that happens, you know, throughout a month that might happen to every woman.

You know, she might feel better at the start and the middle of a cycle and then worse towards sort of the end.

But if you've got ADHD, that's likely to be worse.

in some women, much more significant change.

So I think, yeah, we don't, this all goes back to my former point that we don't talk enough about the effect of hormones on our brains, on our chemical messengers.

We talk about them, you know, about our periods, about fertility, reproduction.

We need to get into the nitty gritty of what this actually does to our brains.

Absolutely, yeah.

And I think what we have to remember is when a woman's about to hit perimenopause or menopause, which is generally in her 40s, give or take, often they've got so many other things going on at that point in life as well.

They've often got teenage children who are also going through hormonal changes, who are likely going through

assessments for neurodivergence that's one of the key points we see women have a light bulb moment you know there's all sorts of things going on often a career might be at the peak of a career or having career changes you know questioning what she's doing with her life relationship changes etc so there's a huge amount of things going on for a woman when she hits that period of her life and

And then, you know, throw into that ADHD and the chemical messenger changes that are happening driven by the hormones.

I guess in terms of, you know, can a woman manage that herself if she's aware of it?

Absolutely.

But that goes back to the first point that she has to be aware of it.

And because we're not talking about this.

We're not talking about the effects of hormones on our brains, neither in the medical community or really in general, you know, female, girl, women environments.

Then we're just not spreading that awareness.

And that's what we need to do.
