Menopause and ADHD

How to cope when menopause and ADHD collide, from a menopause specialist and BBC Breakfast GP, Dr Helen Wall

Menopause and ADHD is your ultimate guide to understanding how your hormones may influence your ADHD - and it's a two-way street- how your ADHD impacts how your perimenopause lands for you. This book will arm you with the facts, and help you to confidently advocate for your own health and wellbeing.

Navigating menopause can be challenging for any woman, but for those with ADHD, the experience can feel like a bomb has gone off in your life. Health issues in all women are too often dismissed, misunderstood, or minimised by clinicians who label symptoms as anxiety or 'just part of being a woman'. We are just starting to empower women to access the menopause support they deserve, but women with ADHD or other intersecting neurodivergence (often undiagnosed) are still woefully left behind in this arena.

Helen Wall is a GP with years of experience advocating for women. MENOPAUSE AND ADHD will debunk myths, tackle systemic biases, and empower you to take charge of your well-being through this period of hormonal challenge. It's time to be heard, be informed, and be your own best health advocate.
