ADHD symptoms feel way worse postpartum — is that related to hormone changes, and which service should I look into first?

Already diagnosed with ADHD before having my baby, but everything feels dramatically harder to manage now, months postpartum. Not sure if this is just normal new-parent chaos, a genuine hormone-related shift making my ADHD symptoms worse, or something else entirely that needs its own separate attention.

Went through this, flagged it with my existing ADHD provider rather than trying to figure out a whole new pathway, she adjusted my dose slightly and also asked some direct screening questions about postpartum mood that I hadn't thought to bring up myself, which caught something I wouldn't have flagged on my own.
