Irish broadcaster Katja Mia has released a new documentary titled Health Hysteria, exploring how women experience delayed diagnoses and medical dismissal. The Irish Examiner and EVOKE both reported that the programme aired on Monday and gained strong praise from viewers across the country. [1][2]

According to the Irish Examiner, the documentary examines the impact of online health misinformation and how medical dismissal leads women to search for answers elsewhere. Katja Mia, who has endometriosis, created the documentary to give women a platform and speak up for those facing similar health struggles, Irish Country Magazine and the Irish Examiner reported. [1][3]

Katja Mia is an Irish television presenter, social media influencer, and model who previously worked on Ireland AM and 2FM. As FTMQ News reported earlier, studies show that women frequently experience longer wait times and misdiagnoses compared to men when seeking answers for chronic conditions. [1][4][5]
