Overview
What causes women all over the world to be told that they are hysteric or overreacting when seeking for medical help? Why are so many women diagnosed: Overdramatic? The female body has only recently started to be researched, which lead to a big lack of information on women's physical and mental health. This documentary relies on the knowledge of Dorte Rytter (researcher) and Stine Sophie (medicine student) to tell us how this issue affects women everyday and in what ways.
