ADHD in Midlife: Hormones, Menopause, and New Challenges

Could declining estrogen during menopause make ADHD symptoms more noticeable? For many women, the hormonal changes of midlife can reveal executive function challenges that had previously gone unrecognized or well-managed. As estrogen levels decline, ADHD symptoms may intensify, raising important questions about hormones, treatment options, and daily functioning. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, cognitive engineer and ADHD coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com/) welcomes ADHD expert and coach Linda Roggli (https://addiva.net), known as the ADDiva, to explore the powerful relationship of menopause, hormones, and ADHD. Drawing on years of coaching women through midlife, as well as her own personal experience, Linda explains how hormonal changes can affect attention, memory, emotional regulation, and overall quality of life. She also discusses the potential role of hormone therapy and practical strategies for navigating this often-overlooked transition. Whether you're experiencing these changes yourself or supporting someone who is, this informative conversation offers valuable insights into one of the least-discussed aspects of ADHD in women.Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and attention deficit disorder, including managing symptoms of ADHD in adults with ADD or adults who have children with ADHD.
