Do I have to be a mother to use Threaded Care?

No. Any adult can use it for themselves.

Can ADHD be missed in women?

NIMH notes some girls and women may not have been identified in childhood. A qualified professional can help you explore this.

Does Threaded Care assume I have anxiety or ADHD?

No. We make no assumptions about your health.

Can I add family later?

Yes. Family profiles are optional and can be added any time.

For women at work

Support for you, not just everyone who depends on you.

Is Threaded Care for women who do not have children?

Yes. Any adult can create an account and set up their own profile. Adding family is optional. We do not assume your age, whether you are a mother, or anything about your health. NIMH notes that some girls and women with ADHD were missed in childhood; that does not mean every woman has ADHD, only that questions about attention deserve a fair hearing.

What this can look like

Illustrative examples, not customer stories or testimonials.

Illustrative example: a woman without children

Hannah, 41, has no kids and a demanding job. She has started losing track of deadlines and wants to understand why. She sets up only her own profile.

Illustrative example: a woman who also cares for family

Grace supports her mother after a fall and works full time. She starts with her own profile first, then adds her mother's information later.

What Threaded Care actually does here

Self-first, with family as an option.

Your own adult profile

Create an account and set up a profile for yourself. Family profiles are optional, not required.

Available screening, inside the app

Resources and relevant support

Browse available resources and, when you choose to, connect with the people who support you, such as a provider or a school.

Family information in one place

Organize notes and information for the people you support so you are not rebuilding the story each time.

What it is not: Threaded Care does not diagnose, prescribe or make assumptions about you based on gender.
