ADHD and perimenopause: Why your symptoms are suddenly worse
About this episode
This episode discusses how perimenopause affects ADHD symptoms due to estrogen fluctuations.
If your ADHD symptoms have spiked out of nowhere, perimenopause might be the culprit. Estrogen plays a direct role in dopamine regulation. When it fluctuates, your focus, memory, and emotional regulation take the hit. This episode breaks down exactly what’s happening in your brain, why the strategies that used to work may be failing you now, and how to adjust your support system for this stage of life.
