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

But we have clinical bias, I think.

And clinically, we are looking for hyperactivity in ADHD.

We're not looking... And it's the external hyperactivity, you know, the restlessness, the chucking things, the not being able to climb and everything, not being able to sit still as a child.

with girls and women it's often very much internal hyperactivity uh it's about you know that rest internal restlessness the noise the voice that's continually running the script you can't rest you can't switch off um and that inability to focus and really sort of task um progress etc so yeah i think um we just need to get better at recognizing at first accepting that it happens in girls and women and secondly recognizing that you know what it looks like

I don't know why it makes me so angry.

And one of the things that really riles me up is the fact that in 2026...

We barely talk about the fact that female hormones impact our brains.

I was at medical school 25 years ago.

We weren't taught that oestrogen and progesterone impacts a woman's brain.

In any woman, whether she's neurodivergent or neurotypical, that is a fact.

Because the studies have been so late being done and it's only really been the last few years that studies have started to look at this.

And, you know, I went to a conference, I do some speaking, just education speaking, and there was about 100 clinicians in that room.

There were pharmacists, there were doctors, there were nurses from primary care.

And I started by asking them, have any of you...

In this room, when you did your training at medical school or nursing school, when you did your specialist training or ever since, post-grad or whatever, have you ever been taught about the effects of women's hormones on women's brains?
