ADHD Chatter
How Hormones and Menopause Impact ADHD Women | Dr. Louise Newson

Totally does, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so it's just such a shame that women are often... not working to their best ability. And even on personal experience, if I wasn't taking hormones, I would not be working as a doctor. I can't begin to explain how hard it is when your brain doesn't function. And you don't know what's going on. And you don't know what you're missing until you have it back.

So, right, three rules to live by. One, people are going to judge you no matter what. So you may as well do what you want. It's your life. I like that. Everything is figureoutable. I don't think everything is, but most things may be. The only perfect thing in the world is you because you're the only you that exists. Be nice to yourself.

Well, no, I think there's probably reasons why criminals. I've done quite a lot of work in prison and you can work out often why. No, I think I get bullied quite a lot for what I do in the media. It's fine. People can read about it. And I can't understand people's motives sometimes. I can't understand why people are mean, actually. I've sort of grown up wanting to be kind.

And I don't think it's a bad thing being kind. It doesn't mean you have to like everyone, but you can still be kind and polite and courteous. And so I can't figure out why people don't want to be kind or why they have this feeling that they can be mean. Because meanness is like such a horrible thing.

Well, there's a lot of meanness when it comes to women's health and hormones. And often it's come from misunderstanding. And I think also it comes from fear, fear of women being in control and women being in control of their bodies. And people don't like change as well. If you're changing a narrative, that can be quite difficult.

No, it's mainly from women, actually. Isn't that interesting? Yeah, yeah. So I think that's hard to figure out, what people's agenda is when they're being nasty. And that's the same, I was bullied at school for being clever. You know, when I see my children, if they've ever been bullied, you think, actually, what are these people? Why are they doing this?
