Millennials have higher rates of mental illness than previous generations. We are far from fine.

Bouldering is good for building muscle, so I think your problem is you need to eat more. You can work out all day, but you'll stay skinny if you don't eat.

I have found this video helpful for my upper back and shoulder pain. He also has a shoulder impingement video where he mentions scapular stabilizers that might be more helpful for your needs but I haven't tried that one.

That's a 20 year old paper. Diagnosis rates have risen a lot since then, and more recent studies suggest that boys still get diagnosed about 3 times more often than girls. I don't see the point of pretending like this isn't a gendered issue. We're talking about an issue that predominantly affects women. No one is saying that men aren't suffering. From an awareness standpoint, it makes more sense to draw attention to the larger population of sufferers to press the urgency of the issue. Once this silent type of ADHD that is more common in girls is codified, the boys with this type should benefit as well.

In childhood, the ratio of boys to girls with ADHD is about 3:1 whereas in adulthood it is closer to 1:1, suggesting that women and girls are underdiagnosed in childhood

It's not needlessly gendered to talk about issues that predominantly affect women.

So? This is a women's community.

Girls are significantly less likely to be diagnosed than boys and are more likely to get diagnosed later in life.

Edit: Underdiagnosis in female-presenting children will continue to be a problem until it is recognized and corrected. When this sort of silent type of ADHD is codified, the minority of boys with this type should also benefit as a result. It's a women's issue because it predominantly affects women. It's really gross to come into a women's space and essentially say "forget the many women; let's talk about the few men."

FYI, Ritalin (methylphenidate HCl) is not an amphetamine. Methylphenidates and amphetamines are considered separate drug classes for treating ADHD. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/11766-adhd-medication
