About this listen

Why are so many girls with ADHD missed until after puberty? What do hormones have to do with it? In this episode, Professor J.J. Sandra Kooij — a pioneering psychiatrist and global ADHD researcher — breaks down how hormonal changes across a woman’s life can affect ADHD symptoms. From early puberty to perimenopause, she explains how estrogen impacts mood, focus, and long-term health. We also explore new findings on cardiovascular risk, mood disorders, and why adjusting the way we diagnose and treat women with ADHD is long overdue.
