If Any of These Sound Familiar, This Course Was Built for You
Your ADHD medication worked at first, then stopped — or works only part of the month
You feel "wired but tired" on stimulants instead of focused and calm
Your focus, mood, and energy crash predictably before your period
You are in your late 30s or 40s and suspect perimenopause is making ADHD worse
You have been told your ADHD is "treatment resistant" but hormones were never discussed
You want cycle-aware, integrative psychiatric care — not just another dose increase
Dr. Dara Abraham, D.O.
Board-Certified Psychiatrist
"I created this course because I kept hearing the same story from women in my practice: 'My medication worked for a while, then stopped. My doctor increased the dose. It helped briefly, then stopped again. Nobody asked about my cycle.'"
That story is not a medication failure. It is a diagnostic blind spot. Hormonal psychiatry is still under-taught in medical training, which means millions of women are receiving suboptimal care for a problem that is entirely solvable.
This mini-course gives you the knowledge to advocate for yourself — and to recognize whether your current care is missing what matters most.
Real Results From Real Patients

Absolutely not. The 5 emails are pure education — the same insights I share with patients in consultations. On Day 5, I will briefly mention how to work with us if you are interested, but there is zero pressure.
Yes. If you suspect you have ADHD, have been told you "probably" have it, or struggle with focus, organization, and emotional regulation that seems to worsen before your period, this course will give you clarity and actionable next steps.

Each email is designed to be read in 5-7 minutes. I respect your time and attention. Dense clinical content is broken into clear, scannable sections with key takeaways at the bottom.
Of course. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link. No questions asked, no guilt. Stay for the parts that help you.
