   Episode 24 - "When ADHD Meets Menopause: What the HELL Is Happening to My Brain?"

   If you’ve been asking yourself, “Why can’t I focus anymore?” “Why am I so scattered?” “Why is my ADHD getting worse?” or “Is this ADHD or menopause?” — this episode is for you.Are you suddenly more distracted, forgetful, overwhelmed, or struggling to get things done? Or maybe you’ve had ADHD for years, but your ADHD symptoms seem to be getting worse during perimenopause or menopause.In this episode of Menopause HQ: Hot, Tired, and Hormonal, Angela and Talya explore the connection between ADHD, perimenopause, menopause, estrogen, and the brain. We talk about why menopause can cause symptoms that look a lot like ADHD, why hormonal changes may make existing ADHD symptoms harder to manage, and why some women don’t discover they have ADHD until midlife.We also discuss how ADHD can present differently in girls and women, including daydreaming, procrastination, disorganization, forgetfulness, emotional overwhelm, masking, and working twice as hard to appear like you have everything together.By the end of the conversation, you’ll have a better understanding of the overlap between ADHD and menopause, what may be contributing to the changes you’re noticing, and what to discuss with your healthcare provider.Subscribe to Menopause HQ: Hot, Tired, and Hormonal for honest, educational conversations about perimenopause, menopause, hormones, symptoms, and women’s health.About Us:Menopause HQ is a company dedicated to helping women understand their bodies, advocate for themselves, and navigate perimenopause and post-menopause with confidence.
