There has been a lot of talk in the news lately about ADHD. In today's episode, I speak with Dr. Alecia Greenlee - a psychiatrist who specializes in how to diagnose and treat ADHD in women.

Dr. Alecia Greenlee is a board-certified psychiatrist dedicated to centering the mental wellness of
women through comprehensive integrative care. Dr. Greenlee specializes in reproductive and lifestyle psychiatry, with particular expertise in how hormonal fluctuations can influence ADHD symptoms in women—from premenstrual periods to perimenopause. She understands how cultural expectations, workplace dynamics, and historical medical trauma can impact both help-seeking behaviors and treatment experiences for women with ADHD. As one of only 2% of psychiatrists in the U.S. who are Black, Dr. Greenlee brings both lived experience and clinical expertise to understanding the unique challenges women face with ADHD diagnosis and treatment. Her work addresses the intersection of ADHD with perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, and the sociocultural pressures that many high-achieving women navigate daily.
