Women and girls with ADHD are often left feeling misunderstood and inadequately supported by health care. This comes as no surprise when research has historically almost exclusively been conducted on boys and men, leading to a lack of understanding around female specific ADHD challenges.

For the first time, this book from two experienced doctors and ADHD experts, connects the latest science on ADHD and the influence of sex hormones, to the everyday lives of women and girls with ADHD. Chapters provide vital knowledge on the ADHD brain and female sexual and reproductive development whilst also introducing five fictional women at different hormonal phases of their lives from puberty through to post-menopause to give insight into the lived experience of ADHD. Readers are also introduced to an 'ADHD 24/7 language' which provides a tailored approach to self-care for ADHD women and girls, allowing them to better advocate for themselves and enabling those supporting them to understand the challenges they face.

Exploring everything from ADHD and common cooccurring conditions like anxiety, eating disorders and PCOS, to hormonal treatments and contraception, this book moves us one step closer to a world where the health and wellbeing of women and girls is prioritised.©2026 Lotta Borg Skoglund and Helena Kopp Kallner (P)2026 Jessica Kingsley Publishers Attention Deficit Disorders Mental Health Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

I have read Lotta Borg Skoglund’s other book on female ADHD but this is by far one of the best books on the topic. How hormones impact female ADHD is poorly researched despite the devastating outcomes and the fact that young ADHD women growing up can now read books like this to learn about their unique brains is wonderful,
Thank you so much for this book, as a perimenopausal ADHD woman so much of it resonated and gave me hope.
I recommended every girl and woman with ADHD to read this book as well as the health care professionals supporting them.
