User:Nicoleschully/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
Polycystic ovary syndrome

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
In my feminist, gender, and sexuality studies courses we have discussed PCOS and how little the medical field knows about women's bodies. It tends to be under-diagnosed, and made to seem less serious than it is. Additionally, because it is a hormonal syndrome, the mental health effects are often overlooked.
