ADHD and Perimenopause; Embracing Neurodivergence in a Changing Body
By Janneke Elford

Are you feeling overwhelmed, foggy, forgetful - and wondering if it’s just “getting older”? You’re not alone. For many women, perimenopause brings a perfect storm of hormonal chaos that intensifies long-standing ADHD symptoms or even uncovers them for the first time. This book is here to help.

Written with insight, empathy, and lived experience, ADHD and Perimenopause explores the overlooked intersection of two life-changing conditions. Whether you were diagnosed with ADHD recently or years ago, this guide will help you understand what’s happening in your brain and body - and what you can do about it.

Inside, you’ll find:

• The science behind hormones, ADHD, and brain function

• Real-world strategies for managing executive dysfunction, emotional regulation, and brain fog

• Support for medication, HRT, and alternative approaches

• Practical advice on routines, relationships, work, and energy management

• Case studies from women who’ve been through it too

• A glossary and tools tailored for ADHD minds

If you’ve ever felt lost in the noise of online advice or dismissed by doctors, this book offers validation, clarity, and actionable support. It’s time to stop blaming yourself - and start embracing your neurodivergent strengths.

Because thriving with ADHD during perimenopause is not only possible - it’s your right.
