I am a mental health nurse and I struggled with my mental health

I stupidly thought being a mental health nurse and having worked in the field for five years before falling pregnant meant mental health struggles wouldn’t be something I had to worry about once little one was born. How wrong I was!How will I know what temperature they prefer in the bath? How do I change a nappy without getting covered in wee when I’ve not got a change of clothes? Where do we find the spare £8 million, we need for childcare for me to return to work? These were the practical things I was focusing on as the birth of our first child got closer.

When You Have False Memory OCD

She holds onto the wall as she walks down the hallway. “You’re just walking to the bathroom,” she whispers to herself. “Nothing bad is happening.” Her mind tries to tell her otherwise. Lost in intrusive thoughts, she desperately tries to ground herself. She doesn’t know this, but she has a subtype of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) involving false memories. This causes her to worry that her intrusive thoughts are actually memories. Tormented by her mind, she checks her surroundings repeatedly and constantly questions reality. She feels a compulsive need to confirm that nothing bad is happening. To her, life feels like a neverending horror movie. She doesn’t know why she struggles so much. Due to stereotypes and misinformation, she doesn’t receive OCD treatment until it is almost too late.

Our Current ADHD Narrative Fails Women and Girls With the Condition

I was diagnosed with ADD when I was 7. That’s kind of a miracle, considering the fact that I was a disorganized, easily distracted little girl and not a hyperactive, disruptive little boy. The diagnostic criteria for ADHD were developed based on studies of “hyperactive young white boys,” and those same boys are still the faces of ADHD. Unless you have it or know someone who does, hearing “ADHD” is likely to conjure up images of badly behaving boys in affluent suburban elementary schools. For years, ADHD was a “male” phenomenon. It wasn’t until fairly recently that doctors, psychologists, and others in the mental health community began to acknowledge that women and girls can have it, too. And while think pieces, editorials, and parenting magazines that express concern over the rapid rise in ADHD diagnoses and over-medication of boys are practically ubiquitous, there is another problem lurking under the surface of the ADHD diagnosis question:
