Three in four women unaware menopause can trigger new mental illness, poll finds Royal College of Psychiatrists says impact on mental health often overlooked and calls for improvements in care

‘58% of black women in the UK said they felt completely uninformed about menopause, while many found it “psychologically damaging”. More than half (53%) reported anxiety, yet many women said they were misdiagnosed with anxiety or depression, not menopause’https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/

I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day | Anonymous Objectification, hate, rape threats: the politicians debating online abuse mean well, but to truly understand, they need to see what I see

‘I frequently feel objectified, dehumanised and disgusted by the hate towards women I see online, and I can say with certainty that most of my friends would agree with me’

The Pain of Perfectionism It’s the fault people humblebrag about in job interviews, but psychologists are discovering more and more about the real harm it causes.

A psychology professor argues that young people, especially Gen Z-ers, are facing an “epidemic of perfectionism,” largely fuelled by social media.

‘But this year’s Girls’ Attitudes Survey shows too many are afraid - afraid to go out after dark, to use public transport, or to be themselves online. In fact, 68% of girls have changed their behaviour to avoid sexual harassment in the last year.’

Other than the science free nature of it all, perhaps the least surprising part of the admin’s new claim is the onus it puts on pregnant women. Dying of fever? Deal with it. In severe pain? Deal with it. Child has autism? It’s because you were weak, and if you say it wasn’t, you’re a liar. We know.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.
