On the 10th of October, World Mental Health Day, PCOS Vitality along with other Fides health educators will raise awareness and support those struggling with their Mental Health with a specific focus on Mental Health at work.





60% of the global population are in work and it has been recognised that urgent action is needed to ensure work protects and supports good mental health. Safe, healthy working environments can be a protective factor for Mental Health. Unhealthy conditions like stigma, discrimination, harassment, and poor working conditions are a risk not only to Mental Health but also overall quality of life and participation and productivity at work. Workplaces need to employ evidence-based approaches and interventions to help their employees thrive at work and at life! So let's take action for a healthier future!


You can join in by following our social media networks and by sharing the hashtag #WorldMentalHealthDay

Freja’s is an organisation with one mission:  Making “it’s just a bad period” history and they believe that the first step in getting there, is making sure people understand what life with conditions such as PCOS (PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome) is really like.  Freja’s collects and shares stories of the real day-to-day impact of living with reproductive/endocrine health conditions to change the way society talks, thinks and feels about reproductive health conditions.  A team of dedicated writers, many of whom themselves with these diagnoses, interview people from all over the UK and the stories are shared with permission online.



Freja’s was founded by Majken.  Having struggled with painful and irregular periods, multiple miscarriages, and infertility she knows first-hand how important it is to open the conversation and invite people to learn about the good, the bad and the ugly of living with reproductive organs that just won’t seem to cooperate.  You can read hers and many other stories on Frejas.org.



The Freja’s team, who have two main guiding principles when they do these stories: 1. Always stay curious 2. Never ever publish anything without explicit consent, have teamed up with PCOS Vitality to tell stories about life with PCOS.  If you want to work with Freja’s writers on shaping and sharing your story, please get in touch hello@frejas.org

We've recently reviewed and updated our Beginner's Guide to PCOS to reflect the changes in the newly published PCOS International Guidelines and to include some changes regarding medications such as Finasteride which the MHRA has issued warnings for with relation to side effects.


You can download your free copy of the Beginner's Guide to PCOS here



We are sure you will find this useful and if you have any suggestions on how we can improve it, please email us info@pcosvitality.com


Stay well,


Team PCOS Vitality.
