Perimenopause, GenX Women, and ADHD

Описание: Perimenopause: GenX Women and ADHD

Are you over 40 and suddenly wondering, “Do I have ADHD?” 😕 You’re not alone—and you’re not imagining it.

In this video, we’re diving deep into the question so many GenX women are asking in 2025:

Why am I struggling with focus, memory, motivation, and emotions NOW?
Is it ADHD? Is it just perimenopause? Or is it both?

As estrogen levels fluctuate during perimenopause, they disrupt dopamine—the brain chemical tied to focus, motivation, and mood. For many women, this hormonal shift can trigger or intensify ADHD symptoms, even if they've flown under the radar for decades.

We'll unpack:
✅ How perimenopause and ADHD symptoms overlap
✅ Why so many GenX women and older millennials are just now discovering they’re neurodivergent
✅ What you can do to feel more regulated, clear, and supported
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, undiagnosed but suspicious, or just feeling like your brain is betraying you—this video is for YOU. 💛
