Evaluation 10
Women's Cognitive Health Evaluation
Cognitive change through perimenopause, menopause, and the postpartum year — measured, not dismissed.
Women are told for years that memory lapses, word-finding trouble, and lost focus are simply stress, hormones, or age. Testing separates hormonal and sleep-driven change from ADHD that was never identified in girlhood, from mood, and from early cognitive disease. The result is an objective profile and a plan you can take to your gynecologist, endocrinologist, or primary care physician.

What the evaluation includes
Measured, not estimated
Each area below is assessed with validated, age-normed measures and interpreted together rather than in isolation.
Hormonal and reproductive timeline
Cycle changes, perimenopausal symptoms, postpartum history, and hormone therapy, mapped against when cognition changed.
Lifetime attention history
School records, early coping, and adult demands, because ADHD in women is frequently identified decades late.
Full cognitive battery
Memory, language, speed, and executive measures, normed for your age and education.
Medical coordination
Findings written so your gynecologist, endocrinologist, or physician can act on them.

Frequently asked
Questions people ask first
Is menopause brain fog real?
Yes. Verbal memory and processing speed shift measurably for many women during the menopausal transition. Testing establishes whether your profile matches that pattern or points elsewhere.
Could this be ADHD rather than hormones?
It frequently is, and often both. ADHD in women is regularly identified only in midlife, when hormonal change removes the coping strategies that had been masking it. The evaluation examines lifetime history, not just current symptoms.
How do I know this isn't early dementia?
That is precisely what the testing is designed to answer. The pattern of scores distinguishes hormonal and attentional change from the profiles associated with degenerative disease.
Will my physician accept the report?
Yes. The report is written in standard clinical format with normed data, and is regularly used by gynecologists, endocrinologists, neurologists, and primary care physicians.
