ADHD and neurodivergence

A brain-based perspective

Everyday differences in focus and regulation

ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, and emotional regulation. It can show up as distractibility, restlessness, forgetfulness, or difficulty starting and finishing tasks. ADHD in women often goes unrecognized, or is misdiagnosed.

Common, but commonly misunderstood

An estimated 5–10% of people live with ADHD, though many go undiagnosed, particularly those who mask symptoms or experience more internalized challenges - which is often the case for women. The hormonal fluctuations involved in the menstrual cycle can further influence attention and mood. Despite its prevalence, ADHD is often wrongfully framed as a lack of effort rather than a difference in brain wiring and dopamine levels.

New tools for a different brain

ADHD support can include medication, coaching, and behavioral strategies—but newer, brain-based approaches are adding more options. Tools like non-invasive neurostimulation, cognitive training, and structured self-reflection help people work with their unique neural patterns. By focusing on how the brain regulates attention and emotion, these methods help to support regulation and executive function.

Incredible - Nettle has helped me immensely and the customer service is also brilliant. I have PMDD and ADHD which I don’t medicate for and I was surprised/delighted that it significantly reduced the symptoms of both of these conditions.

Hope

I have endometriosis and PMDD, suspected ADHD but haven’t sought a diagnosis and don’t intend to. First period was significantly less painful, still took feminax but only once on one day! 2nd cycle, I was feeling so good I almost forgot to use the headband!

PMDD / perimenopause game changer. The 90 day money back guarantee makes this a no-brainer for anyone with severe pms, PMDD or perimenopause symptoms.

Emma

Nettle has genuinely changed my life. I have just finished my fourth cycle of trying it and my symptoms were reduced to about 10%. It felt like very mild PMS compared to the severe, life threatening PMDD I usually suffer with.
