"Estrogen is One of the Primary Modulators for Dopamine in the Female Brain."
by: Thomas E Brown PHD taken from ADDItude.
It’s no wonder women struggle on so many levels yet have conditioned to work like a man as a form of equal rights. It’s not equal , it takes into consideration very little about how a woman can work at her best in certain ways during her cycle and in different ways at other points.
During our period, Estrogen levels drop a lot.
Also For a woman with ADHD Dopamine levels will fluctuate more Therefore Estrogen levels can be far lower during a period and certainly during peri - menopause causing a lot of confusion, forgetfulness, outbursts and emotional discomfort/ Disregulation, anxiety and forgetfulness ( that’s just to name a few )
You are not alone and no woman should be led to believe she is going mad or over exaggerating. She deserves respect, love, compassion and understanding and I can promise you , this is supported in Reflexology also.
Have a great day
