Description

This episode explores the tricky overlap between menopause and Attention Deficit Disorder. Many women find that as estrogen levels drop, symptoms of ADD—like forgetfulness, distractibility, and trouble staying organized—can intensify. We'll unpack why hormonal changes impact brain chemistry and focus, and talk openly about how this can affect work, relationships, and self-esteem. Alongside personal stories, we'll highlight coping strategies, treatment options, and the importance of recognizing that you're not "losing it"—your brain is simply navigating a new hormonal landscape.
