Hysteria explores the systemic neglect of women's mental health in medical research and its consequences. Historically, studies have centred on Caucasian men, leaving women, especially women of colour, misdiagnosed and dismissed. Socialization shapes how mental illness presents, reinforcing biases that delay diagnoses and treatment. Using pit bulls as a metaphor, this series highlights how both women’s health concerns and these animals are widely misunderstood and villainized despite evidence challenging these prejudices. Society often engages more with animal advocacy than discussions on women’s health, making this parallel a tool for bypassing cultural barriers. This project is deeply personal, reflecting my experiences with MDD, ADHD, and PMDD in a system that minimizes women’s health struggles. Hysteria examines how nature and nurture intersect, how systems reinforce themselves, and the urgent need to challenge these disparities
