On this critical episode, Dr. Dan and Danielle discuss the rising tide of ADHD diagnoses in women, Danielle's journey from diagnosis to the podcast, why women historically weren't diagnosed with ADHD (and what's led to new ADHD diagnoses nearly doubling among women ages 20–49 between 2020-2022 according to CDC) and finally, why it's essential to break the silence around this misunderstood topic.

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions The Interaction Between Hormones and ADHD in WomenIn this episode, the speaker delves into the complex relationship between hormones and ADHD, particularly focusing on how hormonal changes impact women diagnosed with ADHD. They discuss the significant overlap between symptoms of ADHD and conditions like PMS and PMDD, and the lack of targeted research, which predominantly focuses on prepubertal males. The episode highlights individual variances in how women respond to hormonal fluctuations and ADHD medications, and emphasizes the importance of personalized treatment plans. Discussion also covers the societal and individual costs of undiagnosed ADHD and explores the dramatic improvement in quality of life when ADHD is properly diagnosed and treated. Dr/ Skoglund also touches upon bad advice often given to ADHD patients and underscores the need for structured routines. The episode concludes by exploring the positive impacts of proper ADHD diagnosis and treatment, through both professional and anecdotal experiences, alongside resources available for women seeking better understanding and support for their ADHD.00:00 Introduction to Hormones and ADHD00:27 PMS, PMDD, and ADHD Overlap02:06 Hormonal Fluctuations and ADHD Symptoms06:23 Clinical Experiences and Research09:43 ADHD in Women: Misconceptions and Realities14:21 Impact of Menopause on ADHD27:34 The Importance of ADHD Diagnosis and Treatment30:33 Resources and Final Thoughts Clear here for the Fibromyalgia 101 link.Click here to connect with Joy Lenz.

Send us a textDr. Gilly Kahn brings a refreshing perspective to our understanding of ADHD, particularly in women, through her dual expertise as both a clinical psychologist and someone with lived experience. Her powerful reframing of ADHD not as an attention deficit but as an "overabundance of attention" challenges conventional thinking about neurodiversity in ways that will resonate deeply with listeners.What makes this conversation particularly valuable is how Dr. Kahn bridges the gap between clinical knowledge and authentic human experience. She vividly describes the ADHD mind as having "a 1920s Great Gatsby party in your brain while trying to do homework" – an image that perfectly captures the overwhelming sensory and cognitive experience many with ADHD navigate daily. This isn't just theoretical understanding; it's rooted in compassion and lived reality.The discussion takes us through several critical topics: misconceptions about ADHD (particularly how hyperfocus on interesting activities doesn't disprove ADHD), the science behind medication options (including fascinating research on neuropromotion), and how neurodivergent brains process information differently as "field-dependent learners." Throughout, Dr. Kahn maintains a balanced approach, acknowledging that while research strongly supports certain interventions, treatment choices remain deeply personal.Perhaps most powerfully, Dr. Kahn shares insights from her upcoming book "Allow Me to Interrupt," which launches September 9th. The Shakespeare-inspired work promises to illuminate the emotional realities of women with ADHD in ways that both validate their experiences and educate others. Her parting advice resonates as both scientific conclusion and profound wisdom: "They don't know you as well as you know yourself." For anyone navigating neurodiversity – whether personally or supporting others – this conversation offers both practical understanding and the courage to trust your own experience despite external judgment or misunderstanding.Support the show

Over 366 million adults worldwide are affected by symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder which is a developmental disorder characterized by an ongoing pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, and feeling restless.

What ADHD is and how's it diagnosed 2. The different subtypes of ADHD 3. Less known symptoms that lead to it being underdiagnosed in women Mind Renewal Tip: ADHD in women is less about being hyperactive and more about being overactive and the mental load.

When we wrote our book, ADHD Is Awesome, we got to meet a lot of you on tour. Many of you felt seen for the first time and many of you had no idea you had ADHD until you read it and got diagnosed. The majority of you were women. If we had one regret in writing our book, it was that we did not include more about how different ADHD presents in girls and women. But a big reason for that, is that it doesn't exist. There is very little research on how differently ADHD presents in girls and women. So we invited Dr. Jennifer Gierisch and Dr. Julia Schechter from the Duke Center for Girls & Women with ADHD to help us understand why that is and what is being done about it.

Rachel Griffiths says she just got through her "peak mid-hell years" and she's here to tell us how. The actor, producer, and director has had many eras - from the "fast start" of Muriel's Wedding to being a Hollywood awards darling, a big-deal US TV star, the director of the Australian classic movie Ride Like A Girl, the co-creator of Total Control and now, the star of the TV show Madam. Through all that, she was also wrestling with the relatable MID dramas - parenting teens and young adults, a diagnosis that made sense of so much, caring for ageing relatives and trying to keep a long-term marriage going. No wonder, as she tells host Holly Wainwright, she and her husband needed a sabbatical. This conversation also veers off into ageing, the Hollywood stars Rachel used to envy but no longer does, how to stay optimistic in a tumultuous world and the relief of finding out she's "ADHD AF".

If you or someone in your life has ADHD you know it's like marching to the beat of your own drum.  As someone diagnosed at 16 (rare in the ‘90s), I've worked hard to implement and discover natural solutions for managing ADHD.  ADHD is often misunderstood, especially in women. While boys are traditionally diagnosed for being disruptive, girls can exhibit subtler signs, like “spacing out” or daydreaming. Your brain isn't broken; it simply works differently.  This mindset shift has been huge for me!  Here are some lifestyle changes I recommend:  Physical Activity: Movement fuels focus. Daily exercise—even as simple as a walk—can significantly improve concentration. Sleep Hygiene: Quality sleep is essential for brain recovery. Sleep deprivation hits harder for those with ADHD. Nutrition: Prioritize protein and healthy fats to stabilize energy levels and support neurotransmitter production. Caffeine with Purpose: For many, a small dose of caffeine can actually enhance focus, especially during challenging phases of the menstrual cycle. People with ADHD excel in short bursts of productivity. Build a schedule that includes: Brain Breaks: Alternate between focused work and rest. Even a 10-minute walk or meditation can reset your mind. Flexible Workspaces: If you can, design your environment to minimize distractions and suit your energy flow. ADHD symptoms fluctuate with hormonal changes, especially during the menstrual cycle. Understanding your cycle and aligning your tasks with high-energy phases can make a huge difference. For example: Follicular Phase (Days 1–14): Higher estrogen supports focus. Use this phase for detail-oriented work. Luteal Phase (Days 15–28): With higher progesterone, energy may dip, making simpler tasks or creative work a better fit. Check Your Dopamine Levels ADHD often ties back to dopamine deficiency. Simple steps to boost dopamine include: Engaging in activities that bring you joy. Exploring natural supplements, like adaptogenic herbs, to support adrenal health. Managing ADHD naturally is about tailoring your lifestyle to your brain's needs. It's a journey of trial and error, but the rewards—a focused, fulfilling life—are well worth it.

Ellyce Fulmore had structures in place her whole life that kept her ADHD hidden. When the pandemic hit, those structures disappeared. Doing basic daily tasks — things like cooking and running errands — got really hard. Then she went down a research rabbit hole on ADHD in women and asked for an ADHD evaluation.  Before the pandemic, Ellyce had been struggling with impulsive spending. It made her feel like she was in control when really the spending was controlling her. Now, she's the author of the book Keeping Finance Personal.  Related resources:5 tips to help teens and young adults manage moneyEllyce's book, Keeping Finance PersonalQueerdco.comTo get a transcript of this show and check out more episodes, visit the ADHD Aha! podcast page at Understood.We love hearing from our listeners.

For every 9 boys diagnosed with ADHD, there's one girl diagnosed. But ADHD isn't a gender-related condition. It's that girls and women are so under-diagnosed. One of the reasons is because our symptoms look completely different from the hyperactive boy we all remember from elementary school. In fact, lots of women with ADHD did very well in school, are successful adults with good careers and generally appear to really have their lives together. Case in point—Carolyn! So in today's episode, you're getting a look behind the curtain of Carolyn's mind. And you may find you relate. Let's dive in.    References: Miss.
