There are two things women often feel when they receive an ADHD diagnosis in midlife. The first is relief. The second is grief. Both of these responses are completely valid. And both are part of what we see in our consulting room, regularly, when women in their forties and fifties finally get a proper assessment.
If you have ADHD – or suspect you might – and you’ve noticed things getting significantly harder in your forties, you are not imagining it. You are not losing your mind. You are not failing to manage something you used to manage fine. There is a reason. And it is sitting in your biology.
You were fine. And then, somewhere in your late thirties or forties, you weren’t.
You’re losing words mid-sentence. You’re forgetting things you would never have forgotten before. You’re snapping at people you love and crying in the car afterwards, not entirely sure what just happened.
If you're ready to take the first steps we're here to support you.
