You Were Never Crazy. You Were Never Told.
The science, the strategies, and the swearing, for every woman who was told to “just deal with it.”
The Not Crazy Movement · Founded by Delaney Cassidy
Welcome to the Not Crazy Movement.
The Not Crazy Movement is a women’s health education and advocacy community for perimenopause and menopause, founded by author Delaney Cassidy. We explain what the research says in plain language, give you tools to take to your doctor, and say out loud what women were never told.
Three words we stand on
Your symptoms are real, and they have a name.
Women deserve science that was actually done on women.
Midlife isn’t decline. It’s the most experienced version of you.
This was never a you problem.
It is a failure of funding, priorities, and power.
Every figure on this site has a named source. The book lists all of its sources at the back.
Who gets studied?
Up to 90% of women experience PMS. About 19% of men experience erectile dysfunction. Yet ED research receives about five times the funding of PMS research.
This is not an accident. And it is not a war on men. It is a wake-up call for women.
