The Premature Menocast

Episode 11: When Hormones and ADHD Collide: A Conversation with Jennie Canty


Listen Later

This month on The Premature Menocast, Nikki takes the reins solo for a special conversation with psychotherapist Jennie Canty, founder of the Chiltern ADHD Clinic. With diaries busier than ever, this episode is a one-to-one deep dive into how ADHD shows up for women, particularly around menopause, perimenopause, and POI (premature ovarian insufficiency).

Jennie shares her expertise on:

  • Why ADHD in women often looks very different from the “traditional” male-based diagnostic criteria.

  • How perimenopause and menopause can amplify ADHD symptoms such as forgetfulness, overwhelm, and mental hyperactivity.

  • The importance of thorough, adapted ADHD assessments and therapy approaches.

  • Practical treatment options — from stimulant and non-stimulant medications to adapted CBT and lifestyle strategies.

This conversation is packed with insight, compassion, and real-world advice for women navigating both ADHD and hormonal change.
