This post may be late, as we said goodbye to 2025 three days ago, but I took some time trying to be present (not easy for me 😂), focus on family, spend time with my boys, and reflect. This time of year can be very difficult for some. To those who struggle, be it mentally, physically, emotionally, or all of the above, I wish you peace and contentment in 2026. Practice giving yourself grace and patience this year. ❤️🙏🏼

Please keep this in mind if you or individuals you love are born female and neurodivergent

A groundbreaking new study has uncovered a powerful connection between ADHD and PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), revealing that women with ADHD are three times more likely to suffer from this severe hormonal condition. PMDD is an extreme form of PMS that brings intense mood swings, anxiety, depression, rage, fatigue, and even physical pain such as headaches and bloating.

Researchers believe this link comes down to how the ADHD brain processes hormones like estrogen and progesterone. These hormones fluctuate naturally during the menstrual cycle, but for women with ADHD, those changes can hit much harder. The shifts can amplify emotional sensitivity, disrupt sleep, worsen focus, and make impulsivity more difficult to manage — creating a storm of symptoms that can deeply affect daily life.

The study also highlights how underdiagnosed PMDD is, especially among women with neurodivergent conditions. Many spend years being told their symptoms are “just bad PMS” before realizing there’s a real medical cause. Experts emphasize the need for better screening and support, especially since hormone regulation plays a huge role in mental health stability.

This discovery is helping reshape the way doctors view ADHD in women, proving that hormones and neurodivergence are far more connected than once thought.
