Katherine S.'s Whiteboard

Hi Katherine,

I'm so sorry to hear about your experience of postpartum OCD. I agree with you that many women's disorders are poorly researched and women are therefore uninformed and told that everything is "in their head". As a sufferer of Vulvodynia, I can certainly relate. Good for you- sending a letter to your senators. It's time to get women's health issues treated seriously!
