As women approach perimenopause, a transitional phase leading to menopause, they often experience a variety of physical and emotional changes. For those diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), this period can present unique challenges. Understanding the interplay between ADHD and the hormonal fluctuations occurring during perimenopause is essential for effective management and support.

A valuable resource for adults concerned about potential ADHD symptoms is the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1). This free screening tool, developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), consists of a brief questionnaire designed to assess the likelihood of adult ADHD.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is often associated with childhood, but it can persist into adulthood, impacting various aspects of one's life.

ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is not limited to childhood; it is a disorder that very often persists into adulthood. At Bluebird Psychology, we see a number of adults who were not diagnosed as children and are now curious whether the symptoms they are experiencing can be explained by ADHD.
