How ADHD and menopause interact

Hormonal changes during menopause can worsen ADHD symptoms. Fluctuating oestrogen levels affect dopamine and other neurotransmitters, which are vital for: focus, motivation and emotional balance.

Many women find that their ability to mask symptoms or manage day-to-day life decreases.
With competing pressures, careers, children, ageing parents, menopause can feel like the tipping point.

Symptoms of ADHD in women

ADHD in women is often under-diagnosed and misunderstood and the symptoms present differently from men. Examples of female-specific presentation:

Emotional dysregulation – difficulty communicating emotions, which can worsen during perimenopause.

You don’t have to keep masking. There’s another way.

Traditional ADHD care has been built around male-pattern symptoms (hyperactivity, impulsivity, short attention spans). But we know women often show something different: mental restlessness, emotional overload and exhaustion from holding it all together.

That’s why women need doctors who see the full picture. Our specialists take the take the time to understand how your hormones, mood, sleep and daily life intertwine, so they can create a plan for your care that works for you.

"Voy does not diagnose ADHD, this requires a psychiatrist. However, we provide specialist care for women already diagnosed or managing ADHD symptoms through the menopause transition."

You're not imaging this - hormone fluctuations can make ADHD harder to manage
