And when you were talking about mood, why does someone feel bad?
Why does a PCOS?
First of all, the androgens do affect, disrupt the dopamine and serotonin in their brain.
That's a fact.
But put yourself in the shoes of a PCOS young girl
who lives at home with a thin, beautiful mom or a thin, beautiful older sister.
She's overweight.
She doesn't eat anything.
She's exercising every day.
She's already a little anxious.
She has acne.
Her mom takes her and they put her on Accutane.
She's constantly lasering her hair.
Her periods are completely unpredictable.
She's starting to have an eating disorder because nothing she does is working for her, right?
And then you take this patient with everything I told you, with all these underlying pillars not working in her.
You take her to the doctor and she gets dismissed.
That's why I'm here to speak for them.
I feel like over the past 25 years, their trauma has become my trauma.
I literally can cry right now.
