Is it ADHD, perimenopause, or both?

A session for veterinary professionals

We're delighted to welcome Dr Helena Tucker back to Vet Empowered for this session. This is the next in our ongoing initiative to create a more hormone-friendly vetmed.

For veterinary professionals going through perimenopause, the strategies that carried them through training and practice can stop working. Memory, focus, sleep and emotional regulation shift, and it can be hard to know whether this is perimenopause, ADHD that has been masked for years, or both.

In this session

• Why ADHD traits often become more noticeable in perimenopause, and the role of changing oestrogen levels
• Where the two overlap, where they differ, and why so many people are diagnosed late
• Practical next steps, including what to ask your GP and how to adapt your working day in clinical practice
