@drlouisenewson: ADHD in women is still so often misunderstood. In this week’s episode, Kate shares her own experience of being diagnosed at 40 after recognising the same struggles in her daughter, and together we explore how hormonal changes can affect focus, overwhelm, anxiety, sleep and emotional wellbeing throughout a woman’s life. We talk about how hormone treatments can improve ADHD symptoms. We also discuss burnout, PMDD, progesterone, hormone treatments and why understanding the whole person, not just a label, is so important. The episode is officially live now so listen wherever you get your podcasts or click the link in my bio 🎙️ E72 S2

Yep, all of the above! Late diagnosis, had to get it to validate myself to employer to get basic accommodations. It was a light bulb moment and now I support others and have a new career!

Diagnosed at 51. Had all of those symptoms. Started Concerta XL. I can only describe it’s like I’d been on the m25 in rush hour for my whole life and finally turned off onto a quiet country lane. Life changing.

Finally! Age 55 and diagnosed 2 weeks ago. A lifetime of anxiety, depression, stress, hyper mobility, BAM, IBS, PLMD, restless legs, weight issues, and now menopause, joint pain, high BP and cholesterol. It’s the gift that keeps on giving eh? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m going through the adhd assessment process. I’m diagnosed autistic as well and a diagnosis of ADHD would mean more to me than I have the words for right now 🙏

I have never heard any one say this and it so true, I have had all of what she says and struggle to navigate it all even with diagnosis. Makes it so difficult to try and plan holidays and days out as I will not know when the next burn out and pain with show itself 😳😅
