8. ADHD, hormones and menopause: the essentials you need to know

This week’s episode is with Dr Jeanette Wasserstein, an NYC-based ADHD menopause and clinical neuropsychologist who has specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD in adults, for the past 30 years.

Kate and Dr Wasserstein talked about 

  • Why girls and women are being diagnosed with ADHD later on in life
  • Menopause, hormones - diagnosing and treating women with ADHD. 
  • What is neuropsychology and how does it help us with ADHD
  • Menopause and ADHD - how to treat both at the same time successfully 
  • The role estrogen plays in ADHD and our hormones
