Yes. But on the other hand, how many women have their own symptoms dismissed, or become invisible once they are mothers. I wonder whether some of these cases are due to feeling unseen, driving that desire for attention. Dunno. Am speaking out of my arse, but feeling unheard and unseen is soemthing I think a lot of women, particularly mothers, might identify with.

It would make sense. I’m a male with numerous chronic illnesses which are very complicated and left doctors confused for a fair while and while they often tried to farm me off to another specialist and many gave dubious attempts at diagnosis to at least try something even if they knew it to be likely wrong/ineffective, they never outright dismissed my symptoms. 

In every online space Women in similar positions seem to overwhelmingly have their symptoms dismissed as anxiety/depression/period pain even when that’s obviously not the case or at most a tiny part of or exacerbating a bigger problem.

Not to mention the stereotype of them being the carer and hence not giving time to look after themselves.
