Neurodiversity and Menopause

Emerging research indicates that menopause can have a pronounced impact on neurodivergent conditions, possibly exacerbating existing symptoms or making latent traits more noticeable.

ADHD and Menopause

Hormonal fluctuations leading up to and during the menopause can have a marked impact on your Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms.
