E10 | PMDD, hormones & neurodivergence - what they didn’t teach us

Why did school never teach us what actually happens during the menstrual cycle?! In this episode, we break down the four phases of the menstrual cycle, what hormones are at play, and how they impact mood, energy, and brain function.We dive deep into PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder)—what it is, why it’s often misunderstood, and how it disproportionately affects neurodivergent people. We share our personal experiences, the science behind PMDD, and the frustrating reality of seeking a diagnosis. Plus, we discuss the link between ADHD, autism, and hormone sensitivity, our medication journeys, and the strategies that have helped us manage PMDD symptoms.LINKTREESocial @wtfisaudhdpodcast Hosted on Acast.
