Neurodivergent

Neurodivergent women are at higher risk of mental health concerns, including:

– Anxiety: Stress from social interactions and daily life demands can lead to anxiety disorders.

– Depression: The challenges of masking and societal expectations often result in feelings of isolation and depression.

– Trauma: Many neurodivergent women experience trauma from misdiagnosis, bullying, or struggle to “fit in”.

– Grief & Loss: Unmet expectations and personal challenges can lead to grief, compounding emotional distress.

Associated Health Conditions

Neurodivergent women also experience a range of associated health conditions, often referred to as “zebra conditions,” including:
– Chronic pain (e.g., fibromyalgia, migraines)
– Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
– Dysautonomia and POTS
– Hypermobility Syndrome
– Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)

These conditions are often overlooked or misdiagnosed, contributing to mental health difficulties. We aim to provide neurodivergent women with the tools and support they need to manage challenges and thrive in all stages of life.
