I joined ALBA because :
My main focus is on the effect of menstruation and menstrual disorders on women's ADHD, a highly understudied topic. Women can be severely affected by their ADHD symptoms, which can worsen due to hormonal dysregulation. Alba seems like the perfect platform to start spreading awareness on the subject.
