ADULT WOMEN AND ADHD PODCAST - ORLA HOLLAND
After getting an ADHD diagnosis at 49 years of age, I went on a mission to learn everything I could about ADHD in adult women. I was about 3 years into my peri menopause and it hit hard. I had no idea that undiagnosed ADHD and Menopause could be such an explosive combination! I also, had no idea that obesity was so heavily linked to ADHD. I am doing a series of podcasts to help spread the word to all our sisters! Untreated ADHD can have devastating consequences - we need more knowledge and understanding! This is my very first episode - I hope it helps, please do get in touch to let me know what you would like to hear covered....

CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE? - ADULT FEMALES AND ADHD - IT COULD BE YOU!
There are over 250,000 people living in Ireland with undiagnosed ADHD, over 4.6 million in the UK and over 24 million in the US. The majority of these are women. As we approach menopause and our oestrogen levels decline, ADHD symptoms can become exacerbated. Left untreated, and often misdiagnosed, this can have a devastating impact on us. As one of these women who received her diagnosis aged 49 years, only after hitting rock bottom, I am on a mission to spread awareness about ADHD in adult females.
