For many girls with ADHD, depression, or autism, the menstrual cycle acts as a "symptom amplifier" that worsens symptoms and reduces quality of life. This session will review the emerging science of "hormone-sensitivity," highlighting how shifting our focus to specific hormonal triggers can transform our approach to suicide prevention and personalized care for girls with psychiatric disorders.
