Mental health screenings are essential for early detection and intervention, particularly for women who face unique mental health challenges such as depression. The CDC reports that 1 in 10 women of reproductive age experience major depression, increasing to 1 in 8 during and after pregnancy. Identifying symptoms like persistent sadness and low energy early can lead to effective treatment. Regular screenings also reduce stigma, encouraging more people to seek help. LunaJoy provides comprehensive mental health services, including individual therapy, group therapy, postpartum support, and telehealth options, to support women's mental health needs.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) involves intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors, significantly impacting daily life. Factors that worsen OCD include stress, hormonal changes, co-occurring mental health conditions, and isolation. Effective management involves professional treatment like cognitive-behavioral therapy and medications, stress reduction techniques, regular sleep, a healthy lifestyle, and strong social support. Consistency in treatment, realistic goals, education, support networks, and flexibility in treatment are crucial for managing OCD symptoms and improving quality of life.

ADHD manifests uniquely in women, often presenting as inattentiveness rather than hyperactivity, leading to underdiagnosis. Women with ADHD may struggle with organizing tasks, managing time, and maintaining focus, which can affect their professional and personal lives. Symptoms often worsen during hormonal changes such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. Environmental factors and genetic predisposition also play a role. Treatment typically involves a combination of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes, tailored to each woman's specific needs. Raising awareness and improving diagnosis are crucial for better support.
