Abstract in brief

  • The study found that women with ADHD have a higher prevalence of hormone-related mood disorder symptoms, including premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), postpartum depression (PPD), and climacteric (menopausal) symptoms, compared to the general population.
  • PMDD symptoms in women with ADHD were linked to less contraceptive use, while antidepressant use was associated with more PMDD symptoms; no significant differences were observed in sleep patterns or other psychiatric conditions between groups with and without PPD or PMDD.
  • The findings suggest that women with ADHD experience more severe mood disturbances related to hormonal changes, highlighting the need for targeted attention to these symptoms during different life stages, such as postpartum and menopause.]

If you’re a woman with #ADHD you may find you suffer from absolute meltdown for two weeks of your cycle and/or have postpartum depression. This is recognised as #PMDD and is what lead to me finally getting assessed for ADHD. https://t.co/V1acK25i2c

@KarenMagraith @mbismark @AustAADPA This would be such a great area for research. There are also higher rates of perinatal depression and anxiety and PMDD in women with ADHD as well. There’s definitely some hormonal effects that could use further study. https://t.co/Pym9KM7ykC

I had no idea but it makes so much sense. Even with ssri treatment my pmdd is still in flux and I am sure that has to do with my untreated adhd. https://t.co/Rhgt5WkP88 https://t.co/u6T6diQMOM

@WhatTheADHD What's interesting, too, is the seeming correlation between ADHD and PMDD, and ADHD and PCOS. Beyond internet conversations, I've found a few studies here and there. Oh, hormones. You assholes.
