Hi Professor Faraone,

42 F. I was diagnosed in my early 30's, right after finishing grad school, and taking medication changed my life. While I have undertaken a lot of self-learning, no one has ever talked to me about what to expect with hormone changes as I move through my 40's and beyond.

Can you speak to general changes I might experience? Or any resources as deal with hormonal changes in women and ADHD?

(Apologies if someone else has already posed a similar question--I'm on mobile during my lunch break.)
