Sarah West shares her journey as a late-diagnosed ADHD woman navigating the challenges of perimenopause while parenting two neurodivergent daughters. She explains how declining estrogen levels during perimenopause can significantly worsen ADHD symptoms by further reducing dopamine production.
• Understanding the complex relationship between hormones and ADHD symptoms
• Recognising how perimenopause can amplify existing ADHD challenges
• Differentiating between ADHD symptoms and perimenopause effects
• Finding ADHD coaches with proper training and credentials
• Advocating for yourself within healthcare systems that often dismiss women's concerns
• Trusting your instincts when supporting neurodivergent children despite professionals saying otherwise
• Practical strategies for managing ADHD and perimenopause simultaneously
• How previously effective coping mechanisms can suddenly stop working during hormonal transitions
• The value of being authentic with your children about your struggles

We also speak about PMDD, which is an acronym for Premenstrual Dysphoria Disorder, a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) characterised by intense emotional and physical symptoms that significantly disrupt daily life, impacting mood, behaviour, and physical well-being.
