ADHD reflection and GP planner

Make space for the whole picture before you speak to your GP.

This private tool helps you put ADHD experiences alongside perimenopause changes and their impact on daily life. It creates a summary you control.

It does not diagnose ADHD, calculate a result, save your answers or replace a specialist assessment. [1]

Part two

Add the perimenopause context.

This section lets you note the changes that may need to be considered alongside possible ADHD. It does not assume that either is the answer. [3]

My attention, memory, sleep, mood or emotional regulation has changed, become harder to manage or feels different from my usual pattern.I have noticed changes in my periods, temperature, sleep, energy, body or wellbeing that I would like to discuss.I have noticed a timeline or pattern that may help a GP understand what changed and when.I would like to discuss how possible ADHD, perimenopause and other factors could be considered together, without assuming one explains everything.Anything else that would help your GP understand the impact?

ADHD and perimenopause conversation notes
This is my personal preparation summary. It is not a diagnosis or a request for a particular outcome.

ADHD experiences I would like to discuss:
• I have not selected any ADHD reflection prompts yet.

Perimenopause and recent changes I would like to discuss:
• I have not selected any perimenopause planning prompts yet.

The impact or context I would like my GP to know:
• I will add this in my own words during the appointment.

I would value a conversation about what may be relevant, whether anything else should be considered and what support or next steps may be appropriate.
