SARAH SNYDER
About this episode

In this episode I am joined by the legendary Dr. Sandra Kooij! Dr. Kooij is a Dutch psychiatrist specializing in ADHD treatment for women. From what she calls "danger week" (the week before your period) to post-partum and (peri)menopause, Dr. Kooij totally gets it, and hearing her talk about her research is fascinating. Dr. Kooij treated women with ADHD for more than 25 years, and for the past 20 years she's been studying adult ADHD as the head of the Adult ADHD Program of PsyQ in the Netherlands.
