Abstract
We assess how ADHD symptoms and mood fluctuate based on type of hormonal contraceptive taken. A sample of 60 or more adult women with ADHD will report symptoms and mood changes once every week for five weeks. We expect more variability in those on non-hormonal contraceptives than on hormonal ones.
