#034– Hormones and Hyperfocus: Dr. Helen Wall on the Menopause ADHD Link

Dr. Helen Wall is a Senior GP Partner, GP Trainer in Bolton, and runs an NHS menopause clinic with a particular interest in the crossover of ADHD and hormones, including why symptoms of ADHD often magnify during perimenopause and menopause.

Dr. Helen is dedicated to helping women who are being diagnosed with ADHD later in life, and those who feel their hormonal symptoms are dismissed or misdiagnosed as anxiety or mood disorders.

Look out for Dr. Helen’s forthcoming book, (out in 2026) Menopause and ADHD, explores this intersection.

Dr. Wall is well-known as the resident GP on BBC Breakfast and a columnist for Woman magazine.
