Understanding ADHD: Busting Myths, Diagnosis Tips & Hormonal Impact on Women with Dr. Sarah Carty
In this episode, we chat with Dr. Sarah Carty about navigating ADHD, drawing from her experiences as both a mother and an expert in the field.
Dr. Carty discusses how ADHD isn’t about a lack of attention but an overload, and why girls are often diagnosed later than boys. She breaks down how stimulant medications work to bring order to the chaos, and the challenges children with ADHD face in school.
We explore the testing process for ADHD, including the QB test and other assessments. Dr. Carty also shares insights on how ADHD affects women, especially during perimenopause and menopause, and how combining ADHD medication with hormone therapy can make a big difference.
Throughout the episode, we focus on mental health, lifestyle changes, and the importance of kindness and support for those living with ADHD.
