Karise McNamee - Paths with Purpose

Karise McNamee - Paths with Purpose AuDHD Counselling Social Worker supporting ADHD & AuDHD women (burnout, shame, perimenopause, PMDD, hormones, health challenges). Book a session with me today.

I provide mental health counselling for women with:

- fertility grief and loss
- hormonal conditions such as PMDD, PMS or perimenopause
- challenges or mental health concerns related to ADHD, AuDHD and autism

I will provide you with a safe space to express your feelings and frustrations, and teach you strategies to navigate your changing emotions and behaviors, rather than trying to change who y

ou are. I will work with you to help you to feel balanced, and better able to cope and communicate your needs, despite sometimes feeling lost, misunderstood, or out of control. My own lived experience with similar conditions means that I truly understand how this can impact so many areas of your life, and how exhausting it can be to put on a ‘happy face’ all the time. I offer flexible online sessions to women all across Australia, no matter where you live, or how you may be feeling. Because you deserve to feel heard and supported. I understand and I am here to help you. Still want to know a bit more about me? Here are some podcast episodes where I have been interviewed about my work and experience. https://youtu.be/IenbfgPK_yI

Before perimenopause, Angela hiked over 100 miles a month. “I was incredibly active,” she says. “I moved to the mountains so I could hike.” Then: “Man, oh man,” she says with a sigh. “Perimenopause wiped me out.”

With approval from her doctor, Angela began taking HRT for her symptoms, but it didn’t make a big enough dent. Then, a few months ago, Angela saw a social-media post from a woman who took daily anti-histamines (like Allegra, Claritin, or Zyrtec) plus Pepcid AC (a common antacid) for her perimenopause symptoms. Her results, as reported, sounded miraculous: no more brain fog, no more tossing and turning all night. Even her mood vastly improved. Angela, who is now 55, decided to try the regimen for herself.

“Women will go to their doctors and say, ‘I take Allegra and Pepcid and my PMDD symptoms go away. It’s like magic,’” says Zachary Rubin, an allergist and clinical immunologist, who has seen patients who take anti-histamines for these purposes for years. So far, Rubin says, these experiences are clinically unsupported. However, he notes, that does not mean it’s not working for anyone, and there are plausible reasons for why it might work.
