From Teenage Girls to Depressed Women

How did we become so disconnected from our bodies?

Think back to your teenage years.
How much of your anxiety, mood swings, or low energy could have been understood through the lens of your menstrual cycle?

What if someone had explained how your hormones worked — and how to support them instead of suppressing them?

We now face a generation of overwhelmed women.
Because no one taught us how to live in sync with our biology.
And unless we change that, our daughters will carry the same pain.

What Age Is Depression Most Common in Women?

Depression is most often diagnosed in women aged 18 to 29 — a time when hormonal shifts, identity pressure, and adult responsibilities collide.

Most women in this group were:

  • Put on hormonal birth control as teens

  • Left in the dark about how their cycle impacts their mind and mood

  • Expected to perform at full capacity every day — regardless of how they felt

If you're in this age range and feel emotionally off-track, start by reconnecting to your rhythm.

Can Puberty Cause Depression in Females?

Yes. Puberty brings hormonal chaos that affects everything — from mood and confidence to self-worth.

Girls often begin to:

  • Experience anxiety or emotional ups and downs

  • Struggle with body image and identity

  • Suppress emotions just to cope

What they need isn’t a quick fix — it’s emotional education and body awareness.
And it’s never too late to give yourself that support.

Why Did the Adolescent Girl Become the Victim of Depression?

Because she was never taught how to listen to herself.

She was told to:

  • Ignore her symptoms

  • Push through the pain

  • Hide the parts of her that felt like “too much”

That disconnection doesn’t just go away.
It grows into burnout, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion.

You were never broken — just unsupported.

What Is the Number One Cause of Depression in Women?

Chronic stress — emotional, hormonal, and unprocessed.

This builds when you:

  • Override your body’s signals

  • Disconnect from your cycle

  • Live on autopilot without rest or rhythm

You don’t need more willpower — you need a plan, structure, and support.
