Why Perimenopause Makes ADHD Feel Worse (The Science Behind It)

Why Perimenopause Makes ADHD Feel Worse (The Science Behind It)

“I don’t think I’m getting worse… I think there’s a reason for this.”


If you’ve got ADHD and you’re going through perimenopause, you might feel like your brain has suddenly changed — like everything that was already hard has just become harder.


In this episode, I go a bit deeper into why that might be happening.


We get into:

• how hormones like oestrogen affect dopamine (and why that matters for ADHD)

• why focus, memory and emotional regulation can feel worse

• the impact of sleep, overwhelm, and brain fog

• and why this isn’t you failing — it actually makes sense


If you’ve been feeling like you’re “losing it” or not coping the way you used to…

you’re not imagining it.


There is a reason for this — and understanding it can help you be a bit gentler with yourself.
