ADHD was never something we talked about in my generation or that I remember.

There is so much talk out there right now and a lot of new information about ADHD in adult women.

So what do we need to know?

Let's start there.

You grow out of it.

Right, right.

It reminds me a little bit of the menopause conversation we were having before we turned the cameras on where, you know, there's a lot of doctors that are still not educated about the changes and what we've learned in terms of guidelines and data when it comes to menopause, perimenopause, and treatment.

I guess the conversation about ADHD came on my radar because there were so many women talking about brain fog and so many women saying, wow, I've hit this time in my life where I have no focus, no concentration, no ability to walk into a room and remember what I was doing, or I'm on my computer and I'm doing 100 different things all at the same time.

And I think that's where it came on my radar first to start having that conversation about it and then dig into it a little bit and see,

Are women finding out or people finding out later in life that is something that they've been dealing with and they didn't know?

Or is it something that can develop later in life?

That's kind of like your norm anyway, right?

Like that's what you've known.

That's the only thing you've known.

I also wonder, I guess, with digital and the way we never turn off and we were joking that, you know, we don't go far from our phones, but that's really the truth.

Do you think that that has brought more things to the surface because we just can't manage it all or we're trying to manage it all because we think we can?

Oh, even entertaining is.

I didn't realize that.

Even though it's entertaining, yeah.

I mean, I do feel like I'm on input all the time and I don't know why.
