In this final replay of the summer series, I am joined by the legendary Dr. Sandra Kooij! Dr. Kooij is a Dutch psychiatrist researching the relationship between hormones and ADHD.

Dr. Kooij treated women with ADHD for more than 25 years, and for the past 20 years she’s been studying adult ADHD as the head of the Adult ADHD Program of PsyQ in the Netherlands.  Mentioned in this episode Women, ADHD, and Hormones Webinar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPerPxb-RNs
