March is Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate women’s achievements, resilience, and voices. It is also a time to focus on women’s mental health, which comes with its own unique challenges and victories. Women are more likely than men to experience certain mood disorders, anxiety, and stress related to caregiving responsibilities, relationships, hormonal shifts, and societal pressures. Recognizing these experiences helps us promote care that is compassionate, informed, and empowering.

At Alleviant, we believe every woman’s mental health journey matters. Sharing stories of strength and healing can help reduce stigma, inspire hope, and remind women that they are not alone in their experiences.

For years, ADHD has been thought of as a condition that mostly affects boys. Because of this, countless girls and women have grown up without answers, often struggling silently with symptoms that don’t fit the “classic” picture of ADHD.

At Alleviant Integrated Mental Health, we believe it’s time to bring attention to how ADHD shows up differently in girls and women, and why it so often gets missed.
