Masterclass: ADHD and Menopause
Understanding the Hormonal Impact on Women's Mental Health
ADHD is frequently underdiagnosed in women, often only identified later in life - commonly during perimenopause or menopause - when hormonal changes intensify previously overlooked symptoms. Clinicians across mental health and women’s health frequently encounter women struggling with memory lapses, emotional dysregulation, overwhelm and chronic “behind-ness,” yet feel uncertain about how ADHD, mental health and menopause interact.
The lack of research, evidence and education about the common and disabling interaction between mental wellbeing and hormone health is a problem for both women and their health care providers. As healthcare providers we created this course to fill the gap.
This expert-led masterclass is designed specifically for professionals working at the intersection of mental health, wellbeing and menopause. Whether you’re a coach, therapist, GP, psychiatrist, or allied health professional, this course equips you with the knowledge, tools and clinical confidence to recognise and manage ADHD in women experiencing hormonal transitions, and to provide integrative, evidence-informed care within your skill set.
Participants do not need to be experts in either ADHD or menopause - this course provides a practical, clinically focused framework to improve assessment, treatment and patient support.
This session will count towards 4 CPD hours. Certificates of completion will be provided at the conclusion of the course, upon request.
