Did You Know? ADHD and Menopause Are Connected

As hormone levels fluctuate during perimenopause and menopause, many women with ADHD experience worsening brain fog, emotional sensitivity, and executive dysfunction. The good news? Understanding the connection between ADHD and menopause can help you develop strategies to regain focus, manage emotions, and thrive in midlife.
