Diagnosed with ADHD at 44, Elizabeth Hatton OBE shares how a lifetime of being labelled “scatty” and disorganised suddenly made sense, and how menopause brought her hidden symptoms to the surface.

In this powerful episode of ADHD Beyond the Label, Dr Phil Anderton and John Reynolds speak with Elizabeth about late diagnosis in women, raising a neurodivergent child, navigating surgical menopause, and overcoming the barriers to getting assessed.

Elizabeth also shares the deeply personal story behind her work with the charity Kicks Count, campaigning to reduce stillbirth rates and improve awareness of baby movements, work that ultimately earned her an OBE.

Together, they explore:

- Why many women are diagnosed with ADHD later in life

- The overlap between menopause and ADHD symptoms

- Real-life coping strategies that actually work at home

- The challenges of NHS waiting lists and diagnosis barriers

- How ADHD strengths, persistence, passion, and hyperfocus — can drive real-world change

- Turning grief into purpose and advocacy

This episode is a powerful reminder that ADHD is not just a diagnosis, it’s a story of resilience, identity, and purpose.

Together, they unpack how modern lifestyles are reshaping our brain chemistry, especially dopamine and what that means for people living with ADHD.

TJ introduces his groundbreaking DOSE framework, offering practical, science-backed strategies to rebalance the brain, improve focus, and build sustainable habits.
