In this week’s episode, the WebMD Health Discovered producers recap three of the year’s top mental health episodes. From people-pleasing and the concept of “fawning,” to finding hope and rebuilding connections after trauma, to understanding why ADHD is often overlooked in women and girls, these conversations explore a common theme: the ways we protect ourselves often have a deeper story behind them.

Revisit these episodes:
Why Saying “No” Feels So Hard: People Pleasing, Fawning, and Boundaries
From Hypervigilance to Hope: Rewriting Connection After Trauma
ADHD in Women and Girls: Why It’s Often Overlooked

Tune in for conversations that bring together evidence-based mental health information and lived experience to help us better understand ourselves and the ways we navigate the world.
