We talk to podcast host Lisa Paasche about her experience of going through peri-menopause, which lead her to a late diagnosis of ADHD. She shares why perimenopause can be a particularly challenging time for people with ADHD, the relief that came with her diagnosis, and everything that she has learned along the way.

Lisa is the host of a new podcast called 'Am I crazy or…', which focuses on the spicy combo of perimenopause and ADHD, talking to experts about these two complex subject areas.

To find out more about the 'Am I crazy or...' podcast (launching early 2025), head to the podcast's instagram page.

The charity where Lisa went for her ADHD diagnosis is SEIK Psychiatry.
