Practical tools for female-specific ADHD: The impact of hormonal fluctuations in clinical practice and from the literature
Overview
This paper discusses how hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle, postpartum period, and menopause affect ADHD symptom severity and treatment efficacy in women. It highlights that ignoring these factors contributes to underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis due to symptom masking and comorbidities. The authors provide practical recommendations for clinicians, including protocols for tracking menstrual cycles and assessing mood and sleep disturbances to improve clinical management.
