ADHS und Perimenopause (was niemand dir erklärt hat)

ADHD in women is often diagnosed late, especially if they have functioned well for a long time, compensated extensively, and outwardly appeared structured, efficient, or organized. I know this topic not only from a professional perspective but also from my own experience with neurodivergence, masking, and overcompensation. In this video, I discuss why ADHD in women often manifests differently than the classic image of hyperactivity and why many women only begin to understand themselves anew in their 30s, 40s, or around the time of perimenopause. During perimenopause, hormonal patterns change. These changes can influence focus, emotional regulation, sensory processing, and the dopamine system. This is precisely why strategies that have worked for years may suddenly become ineffective. I explain why diagnostic criteria have long been more strongly oriented toward male presentation styles, what role masking and overcompensation can play, and why functioning well doesn't necessarily mean things are easy on the inside. This video is for general health education purposes and does not replace individual diagnosis or treatment. If you recognize yourself in any of the points discussed, or if you suspect ADHD, autism, or another form of neurodivergence, you should consult a qualified professional for individual evaluation.
