Understanding ADHD & hormones
The link between hormones and ADHD
For women with ADHD, hormonal fluctuations can have a significant impact on symptoms. Changes in hormone levels throughout the menstrual cycle, during perimenopause, or at menopause can intensify challenges such as focus, emotional regulation, and energy levels.
Unfortunately, many women are unaware of this connection and may feel frustrated when their ADHD symptoms seem unpredictable or unmanageable.
At Jaya Life, we specialise in helping women understand these patterns and create a practical, personalised plan to regain balance and control.
Common experiences
Heightened emotional sensitivity or mood swings
Increased anxiety or irritability
Worsening focus and concentration difficulties
Feeling overwhelmed or burned out
Disrupted sleep patterns
Physical symptoms such as fatigue or headaches
These patterns are valid and explainable and with the right support, they can be managed.
Why specialist care for ADHD & hormones matters
ADHD symptoms can change throughout the menstrual cycle and at different life stages, but this connection isn’t always clear. Understanding how hormones influence focus, mood, and energy can make a real difference to daily life.
Dr Lucy Mather brings together 25 years experience as a Doctor and specialist knowledge in women’s health and hormonal care to offer a more complete picture of support.
Through longer, in-depth consultations, we take the time to explore your unique experience and develop a personalised plan, giving you clear, practical steps to manage hormonal changes alongside ADHD.
