Psychiatrist working with ADHD-patients since 2007. I have diagnosed and treated more than a 1000 patients with ADHD.

 

Introduction/background: 

How to be pregnant as a woman with ADHD and have children with ADHD. 

 

 

Objectives: Women with ADHD are often facing more problems during pregnancy, after birth and during the child's childhood than women without ADHD.

 

Methods: Method: 

We know that women are vulnerable during fall off estrogen and that they are at a higher risk of getting a post natal depression.

 

If the child has ADHD it is even more difficult for the women with ADHD. 

 

 

Results: Results: 

Women with ADHD are vulnerable during pregnancy, not only because of the hormones, but also if the medication is taken from them or paused. 

 

 

Conclusions: Conclusion: 

Guidelines for treating women with ADHD during pregnancy are not really available yet. We have many clinical cases that can help us to handle ADHD-women during pregnancy.
