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%)
