Abstract in brief

  • The text discusses how psychostimulant treatments for ADHD may vary depending on the menstrual cycle in women, but this area is not well-researched, highlighting a gap in understanding and treatment for women.
  • Some studies have shown that ADHD symptoms can worsen during certain phases of the menstrual cycle, particularly the luteal phase, and that hormonal changes might influence how effective stimulants are.
  • Overall, women with ADHD are underrepresented in research, which contributes to a gender health gap, and more studies are needed to improve tailored treatment options for menstruating women with ADHD.]
