The invisible mental load: Neuroscience perspectives on women balancing work and special needs care
Abstract
The demands of today’s fast-paced work culture are especially challenging for women balancing careers and family life. Even without caregiving responsibilities, working women often face mental overload and emotional fatigue. For those raising children with special needs, the pressures become significantly greater.
Neuroscience shows that chronic stress and constant multitasking can disrupt brain functions related to focus, emotional regulation, and decision-making. When combined with rigid workplace expectations and limited support, this creates a heavy, often invisible, mental load.
This presentation explores how work environments impact the mental health and cognitive well-being of women—especially mothers of neurodiverse children. It highlights the need for inclusive, flexible, and neuro-informed work cultures that support psychological resilience.
Promoting empathetic leadership and supportive policies is not just a matter of fairness—it’s essential for building healthier, more sustainable organizations in a rapidly changing world.
