Dr. Lotta Borg Skoglund - Bridging the Gap for ADHD Girls and Women with LetterLife

Dr Lotta Borg Skoglund is a Swedish researcher, physician, psychiatrist, and co-founder of LetterLife.

Her book "ADHD Girls to Women: Getting on the Radar" was just released in English. It's available at all major book sellers and via audiobook.  
 
In this episode we talk about how women and girls are too often abandoned by their health care providers, diagnosed with ADHD years after their male counterparts, and struggle to find information and support for their many co-morbid conditions.

Dr. Skoglund shares how the healthcare system typically is made up of silos of specialities and it's only once those silos are broken and the different sectors begin to work with each other can real solutions come into play.

We discuss how hormones effect everything - which those of us with a cycle already knew. We address if cyclic dosing might be the answer. How knowing your ADHD type and characteristics can be key in advocating for yourself and treating your ADHD. 

LetterLife is a blog, site, and app created by Dr Skoglund and fellow researchers/doctors/clinicians.
I have been using the app for a few months and love that it helps me track my symptoms and helps me develop more self awareness around my cycle and symptom presentations during my cycle.
There is also a fabulous community board,  there is information and articles by leading researchers and professionals across the healthcare world, and so so much more - all of which is included with the free version.
The paid version gives you access to past webinars as well as detailed insights and additional tools.
