It is now clear from diagnoses in later life that #ADHD occurs just as often in women and girls as it does in men and boys.
But women and girls are diagnosed FAR less often, and frequently misdiagnosed 2/9 Image
Women with ADHD are more likely to present outwardly with inattentive traits, because hyperactive/impulsive traits are more likely to be masked and 'internalised'. 3/9 Image

Medical trauma sucks. You know need medicine, it's logical & it can help. But it doesn't stand aside from the fact that in years gone by you have faced discrimination, gaslighting, & years of experimentally failed treatments based on the latter that has prolonged your hell 1/ ๐Ÿงต
The lowest places have been places where you have not been listened to, & served more fresh hell, to a metabolism that dances at the fringes or normal, and barely dips a toe in. You are been 'the healthiest, most dysfunctional person you know' you joke... 2/
You minimum does is too much for me, I don't want more - I want right. I know what I can handle, I experience how it feels.
I have lead my care, I have led my needs, I have fought for myself & I have been my own advocate from places I have no idea where I got the energy from...3/

Want to include the menstrual cycle in your scientific work, but aren't sure how to do it? My lab (@katjaschmalen) have just published an article on best practices for observational studies of the cycle! Thread below! ๐Ÿงต pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33113391/
Despite decades of research on the menstrual cycle, empirical studies have not adopted consistent methods for operationalizing the menstrual cycle, resulting in confusion in the literature and limited possibilities to conduct systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
Below, I summarize this "how to" article, and relay some of the key points!

17 months ago I had a total hysterectomy + bilateral ovary removal for severe PMDD - I honestly believe that surgery saved my life, yet I definitely wasn't ready for the mental health rollercoaster of surgical menopause + HRT that followed (thread)
17 months on + finally my hormones are in range, following surgery I thought my mental health battle was over, I am so much better, I don't self harm or need to be in hospital for my safety anymore. I am living independently, I can drive + hold down a job (2/?)
Yet I am still awaiting for the day I feel "better". There are many days I feel broken + whilst I have no regrets about my surgery, I feel it changed me in ways I could have never expected. I often feel zapped of energy (3/?)
