Navigating ADHD in the menopause

This event has finished

05/10/2023 7:00 pm - 05/10/2023 7:30 pm

Venue: Zoom

ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a hot topic right now. It affects 3-4% of both men and women, some who were diagnosed in childhood, others as adults. Either way, going through the menopause with ADHD can be a perfect storm – symptoms can overlap, making for a challenging time. But it need not be this way.

So join Dr Clare Spencer as she discusses the symptoms, diagnosis and management of ADHD with Dr Rob Baskind, a psychiatrist with a wealth of experience working in adult ADHD and mental health care.

They’ll discuss many facets of this important conversation including how the menopause transition impacts women with ADHD, discovering you have ADHD later in life as well as the treatment options available.
