ADHD in women has been overlooked for far too long—but new research is changing the conversation.
Today, we sit down with Dr. Dora Wynchank from PsyQ in The Hague to explore groundbreaking findings on how ADHD evolves across a woman’s lifespan—especially during perimenopause and menopause.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why flexible psychostimulant dosing is crucial for women with ADHD,
- The importance of thorough assessments for girls and women in the diagnostic process,
- How Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) uniquely impacts people with ADHD,
- The consequences of untreated ADHD in older adults (50+),

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
