Menopause and ADHD? Hormonal fluctuations in perimenopause when oestrogen levels decrease, can impact both conditions. Symptoms of perimenopause may mirror ADHD symptoms, leading to an exacerbation of ADHD symptoms. And for some menopause may tie-in with an ADHD diagnosis.

The combination of neurodiversity and menopause hormone changes can affect how the brain processes information - potentially impacting on mental function, social skills, attention, memory & mood. And for some, menopause may lead to a neurodivergence diagnosis, with individuals facing new or more intense challenges.
