Lotta Borg Skoglund, MD PhD

Lotta has over 20 years of clinical experience and her current research targets girls and women with ADHD.

As a senior physician and associate professor in psychiatry with a special focus on neurodiversity and addiction me and my research group GODDESS ADHD aim to increase the knowledge about how hormones influence mental health in girls and women across the lifespan. Raising awareness and spreading knowledge through lectures and popular science books is among the important and enjoyable things I know.

Jolanta has 16 years’ experience as an ADHD coach and an entire lifetime of experience from her own ADHD diagnosis and as an ADHD mother.

I am trained in pedagogical leadership and extensive experience from working with personal development and growth.

From working with women with ADHD I’m aware and comfortable with comorbidity being the rule rather than the exception. Indeed, I have lived experience from previous periods of exhaustion and burnout. Together we will explore the areas of your life that your ADHD affects the most, such as hormones, relations, or work life. We will set and evaluate individual goals aiming for a balanced function and good quality of life.
