In this episode of ADHD for Smart Ass Women, Tracy talks about women, ADHD and hormones. She starts out by thanking those female pioneers, most of whom have ADHD, for leading the charge in teaching us about what ADHD looks like in women. Experts like Dr. Kathleen Nadeau, Dr. Ellen Littman, Dr. Patricia Quinn, Dr. Sari Solden, Dr. Sandra Kooj who she has learned so much from.
Tracy shares why ADHD has always been about boys, how ADHD looks different in girls, the biggest problem among health care practitioners that impacts women, why girls/women are often misdiagnosed, who struggles more with ADHD, men or women, how societal pressures and gender role expectations affect ADHD women, her thoughts around perfectionism and ADHD, how estrogen impacts ADHD symptoms and is not stable during our lifespan, new research about hormone-related mood disorders that may impact ADHD women, whether or not there's such a thing as adult-onset ADHD, and some information on whether it is dementia or ADHD.

ADHD isn’t a productivity problem. It’s an identity problem.
That’s why most strategies don’t stick. They were not designed for how your brain actually works. If you’re ready to stop fighting your brain and start building a life that fits, start here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/sign-up
