Women's mental health &

the role of medication

Discovering your neurodivergence later in life can bring great clarity, but it can also bring up feelings of grief, confusion, even anger. Years of masking and sensory overload inevitably can also lead to a specific, heavy kind of neurodivergent burnout.

Each month, I host an online meetup for late-diagnosed ND women to help us make sense of ourselves and share useful tips to make work and life less difficult and more authentic.

These calls are deliberately not recorded.

In October, our special guest is Kristin Sargent. Kristin is deeply immersed in research into women's mental health and I've been interested in her findings in relation to medications as so many of my neurokin struggle to find the right balance of medicinal support. I hope you can join us.
