Question: How does ADHD show in adult women? My son Mike was diagnosed with ADHD. It reminded me of the fact that also when I was at the age of 10, a psychological investigation was arranged because of my hyperactivity and concentration disturbances and a minimum cerebral brain function disturbance was diagnosed. I had sensory integration therapy and over many years I got along quite well. When looking back, however I can see that particularly in phases of hormonal changes (puberty, birth of my two children and also as a function of my period) my mood and efficiency changes a lot. Doctors have associated it with PMS but I have now talked about ADHD with my family doctor and he put me on a medication with stimulants. It does not seem to work however, my attention and disorganization remains nearly the same, although we continue increasing the dose. What can I do?
