A Patient’s Guide to Talking with Your Doctor About ADHD and Menopause

October 16 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm MDT

FREE

EXPERT:  Lotta Borg Skoglund, M.D., Ph.D.

Brain fog, emotional meltdowns, and fear of dementia. Perimenopausal women with ADHD face these and myriad other challenges to brain and body due to hormonal changes during their final reproductive years. 

However, many researchers and clinicians continue to dismiss patients’ concerns saying that “there are no studies exploring adult or older women” It is, of course, important to base our medical advice on the best available research. But is it ethical to allow adult women with ADHD to suffer just because researchers and clinicians haven’t paid them enough attention?

We think not! That is why I’m passionate about doing the best and the most we can and to communicate the evidence that actually exists.

In this webinar, you will learn the following information to share with your clinician:

  • How the ADHD brain reacts to fluctuating hormones in vulnerable periods of the female life
  • How you can differentiate between ADHD and menopausal symptoms
  • How the “swinging” decrease of estrogen and progesterone during perimenopause can worsen ADHD symptoms and influence medication effect
  • How psychiatric and physical symptoms interplay with ADHD in (peri)menopause
  • How to treat ADHD and menopausal symptoms in adult females
  • How the ADHD life beyond menopause can look
