An interesting article: https://www.additudemag.com/menopause-perimenopause-adhd-research/?ecd=wnl_additude_240526_cons_adhd_women&goal=0_d9446392d6-83392e193a-316474882 

An ADDitude survey of nearly 5,000 women with ADHD, 63% of respondents aged 45 and older said ADHD had the greatest impact on their lives during perimenopause and menopause. (In contrast, less than 6% said ADHD had the biggest impact before age 20.)

More than 93% said they noticed a difference in the severity of some ADHD symptoms during perimenopause and/or menopause. More than half of survey respondents said the following symptoms had a “life-altering impact” from ages 40 to 59:

- Feelings of overwhelm (73.67%)

- Brain fog and memory issues (74.32%)

- Procrastination (65.60%)

- Time-management difficulties (64.27%)

- Inattention/distractibility (61.74%)

- Disorganization (60.98%)

- Emotional dysregulation (58.82%)
