#86 ADHD: Effects of Menstrual Cycle and Perimenopause and Harder to Treat ADHD

Today is the last episode on ADHD, and I will finish off by talking about the effects of estrogen on ADHD symptoms both during the menstrual cycle and perimenopause. I will discuss using hormone replacement therapy as well as changes to ADHD medications to combat these symptoms. I will also discuss comorbid autism, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder as well as treating executive functioning which does not respond well to medication.
