In this segment of Mona Sharma’s YouTube video, the conversation highlights how women’s hormonal health concerns—such as anxiety, fatigue, and unexplained sadness—are routinely dismissed by physicians. The speakers point out that doctors often lack time and are reluctant to prescribe hormone replacement therapy, leading to a pattern of gaslighting where women are told their symptoms are ‘normal’, ‘all in their head’, or simply a part of a regular menstrual cycle. This dismissal perpetuates harm by preventing women from addressing the root hormonal causes of their mental and physical health issues.

Doctors don't get. They don't have a lot of time. You know, they're like, hey, just get out of my office. Like, I'm not going to get paid to treat you with hormone replacement therapy.
No one would ever support me in getting to the root cause of what the anxiety was, what the fatigue was, what, you know, sadness that just came from out of the blue and how.
That could have been.
Associated to our hormones. And this isn't a normal part of being a woman.
You're absolutely right.
It's been dismissed.
For decades. Women are gaslighted by physicians. They're told that everything's normal, or you're too young to be experiencing this, or it's all in your head, or you're having a period. So everything's normal. Normal with your hormones. And this is doing a lot of harm.
