ADHD in the Perinatal Period
What do ADHD symptoms look like for perinatal patients?
Among the key facts:
- Untreated or unmanaged ADHD symptoms are associated with a range of impairments, including higher rates of unplanned pregnancies, poorer prenatal health, and increased birth complications.
- As more adult women receive ADHD diagnoses, many seek support for managing their symptoms during preconception and in the perinatal period.
