Q: 53 year old woman, possible ADHD because of menopause

If there is anyone out there that can relate please let me know. I am about ready to start meds for this, and it makes sense to me . Would appreciate any other women in peri-menopause or  in monopause(which I am) to speak up.

 

With Much thanks and appreciation

Many women report the symptoms of ADHD tend to get worse after menopause. Stress, as well, can increase symptoms of ADHD.

 

I am providing you some links to articles with additional information that may be helpful:

I hope this information helps.
