Female Hormones and ADHD

I thought I knew a bit about women and ADHD but this book has opened my eyes. What an incredible exploration of the impact of hormones on neurodiversity, and the challenges women face as a result. It has huge breadth and depth, it covers the full female lifespan and the many different ways in which ADHD presents itself in different women, at different ages, and best of all it is wise and compassionate without being patronising or too scientific. Highly recommended for any woman - or man; I think this is a major contribution to a very under-researched and under-resourced field. – Alex Partridge * ADHD Chatter podcast host and bestselling author *
Truly insightful and timely, this book puts female hormones directly on the map in ADHD with a dedicated focus on girls and women right across the reproductive lifespan and beyond, with poignant fictional accounts that really bring the book alive. – Julie Gamble-Turner * Professor and JKP Author *
This is the book we’ve been waiting for. At last, women and girls with ADHD are seen, heard, and deeply understood. In this powerful and compassionate guide, Lotta Bork Skogland shines a spotlight on the female ADHD experience across the lifespan. It’s a must-read for every woman with ADHD-and every provider who wants to truly support her. – Kathleen Nadeau PhD * Clinical Psychologist and Author *
A much-needed guide to ADHD and female hormones. Insightful, practical, and empowering, it offers understanding, self-care strategies, and important guidance around medication. Essential reading for women and their support networks. – Dr Jo Steer * ADHD and Autism Specialist and Author of ‘Understanding ADHD in Girls and Women’ *
Kind, gentle, empowering - the book stands to be an ADHD girl’s, then an ADHD woman’s, best friend, advocate and cheerleader. So much guidance and information is packed into these pages, and the book does an amazing job of staying relevant to girls and women throughout their lives. – Dr Rachel Moseley * Principal Academic in Psychology, Bournemouth University; author of ‘Autistic Menopause: A Guide to the Menopausal Transition for Autistic People and Those Supporting Them’ *
Through an ingenious and rigorous framework, this book deconstructs the gender bias hiding ADHD in women. It masterfully bridges endocrinology and neuroscience, turning complex data into an essential roadmap for early diagnosis and life-changing intervention. – Marisa Labovsky * MD, IFEPAG President FIGIJ *
