The Misdiagnosis Labyrinth: Women dismissed as "Just Anxiety"

How gender blindness in medical criteria causes women to receive 'False Labels' (Bipolar/BPD) until their 30s.

Masking is Disappearing into the System

The "Lost Generation" of women is one of the greatest tragedies in medical history. Neurodivergent girls often become masters of Masking (Camouflage) due to societal pressure to "be good" and "behaved." Because their grades are often good, they never fly onto any specialist's radar.

However, when they visit a psychiatrist after a severe Neuro-Burnout in their 30s, they might receive a diagnosis of "Bipolar" or "Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)" due to their intense Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). Because the true root cause—Neurodivergence—is unknown, years are wasted with incorrect therapies and medications.
